Switzerland. Home of the triangular majesty that is Toblerone, no questions asked bank accounts for the exponentially rich and Love Motel. Love Motel is back – so says the press release – and he (?) is fortunately a lot less sleazy than his Bangkok namesake.
What we have here is, for the most part, the kind of synth driven Euro dance music of the sort that gave Germany such a bad name a couple of decades ago. For the most part that is, as stylistic changes do sneak in with something akin to retro ambient electro being the strongest influence on "Never Die Again" right down to the Bowie-esque vocals. Of the dance floor fodder, "Devil's Road" holds the most appeal with Julie Hugo's seductive vocals being the icing on the cake.
"We Are You" actually works quite well given its dead of night European context and, while you might not take it home, you just might buy it a drink. Or maybe two.
