Brooklyn monster-buzz-band Motel Motel scream and bubble and flourish and sweat with that hyper-extended circa-2001 Ryan Adams urban-rural vibe. Full of throaty howls and explosive power-dirges, they're an aggro alt-country shitfit that somehow succeeds in a tender blogger climate more suited to, say, Band Of Horses. Their self-released album, New Denver, praises balls over atmosphere, a whopping 72 minutes of country-fried blasts about methadone hits or sad cigarettes. The Rebel Group finally gave the album a proper release last week, so the band and director Matthew Murphy cooked up a video in the New Jersey woods for the long-circulating MP3 "Coffee." Like an unhinged Goo Goo Doll caught in a Blitzen Trap, "Coffee" is a pissy, melancholy break-up anthem that chunka-chunks its way through various stages of grief: from bedroom to couch to hotel to coke mirror. The video appears a little more optimistic, as out hapless hero tries to find companionship using the resources of the wilderness.
