Description:

Solar Motel by Chris Forsyth, released 8 December 2023, includes the following tracks: "Solar Motel Part III" and more. This version of Solar Motel comes as a 2xLP. -

Named after a run-down lodge in New Jersey near where he grew up, Solar Motel was the first full-band project from Chris Forsyth. Originally released in 2013, it was considered his most ambitious and sublime work of "Cosmic Americana" to date, and the idea of the Motel also figured into a band where vacancies would open and close. "'Solar Motel' is the first record on which I overtly took rock tropes and twisted them into new shapes, incorporating so many of my interests and influences - the twin-guitar elegance of Television, the sprawl of West Coast psych, the boiled down Rock Minimalism of Rhys Chatham, the abstract tangles of free improv, an undercurrent of ecstatic jazz energy, and the studio textures of Eno/Cale/Roxy '70s art rock. 'Solar Motel' basically set the template for much of what I did for the remainder of that decade. Expanded 2xLP includes two studio outtakes from the original sessions, and a side-long live session recorded at WFMU.

Recorded December 2011 - March 2012 at Uniform Recording, Philadelphia, PA (A, B, C) and July 8, 2013 live on air at WFMU, Jersey City, NJ (D). WFMU recording by Dan Barker.
