Tremolo guitars and vibraphone shimmer over the inimitable Hotels rhythm section like moonlight on a swimming pool, while Blake Madden intones a pulpy tale of young girls crying and young lovers dying . It s beautiful, effortlessly cool, and once again proves Hotels as kings of pop melody and mood. The track is lifted from Hotels brilliant sophomore album <a title="Where Hearts Go Broke" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/hotels/"><em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em></a>.
