Hotel Mexico

Geographically inaccurate, difficult to Google, Kyoto’s Hotel Mexico offer as their mission statement “pop music to make girl happy in the world”, which elucidates just as much as their cryptic and / or Japanese language promo literature. Hence, somewhat frustratingly, the lack of biographical and background information in our write-up.

Luckily, there is a lot to like about their music. Full of swirling guitar sonics and gently shifting psychedelic arpeggios, lush vocal blankets and Taiko-esque, booming percussion, all of the band’s key ingredients are captured in now-signature piece ‘It’s Twinkle’, taken from debut album His Jewelled Letter Box (Second Royal Record).
