"The band I’m most interested in is Hotels, who I’ve known casually over the past few years. They have a catchy, keyboard driven sound and an emotionally distant vocalist in singer Blake Madden. They had just released their latest album, <em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em> last month and from the little I’ve heard, it’s a lot more accessible than their previous work. The band was also singled out in the latest issue of Seattle <em>Sound</em> magazine by KEXP’s John Richards as one of the five bands he expects to break out in 2009."
