Motes are quietly one of the most talented local bands in C-U. If you had any doubts about that, their new single “Freeway” is debuted here to set you straight. The see-saw of Elizabeth Majerus’ and Matt Mitchells’ vocals eventually slide together to form harmonies, then break apart again. In the background are whimsical instrumentals—friendly bass lines and poppy guitar bits, segmented with jazzy taps of the cymbal. Simple indie rock for the ages.
Motes are playing a Smile Politely + buzz presents show at Cowboy Monkey this Friday with The Chemicals and Terminus Victor. The show will also be an Heirship Records showcase. For more information, check out the Facebook event and stream “Freeway” below.
