Song of the Day: June 02, 2017 - "Motor Inn" by Lanikai
You may remember Marti Sarbit as the powerhouse vocalist behind Imaginary Cities, but since that band announced the dreaded "indefinite hiatus", she's started a new project called Lanikai. Their self-titled debut was released last year, full of soulful, 60s art-pop gems, including "Motor Inn" which she just released a new video for.
Marti says: "Motor Inn was the first song I recorded with my friend and producer Thomas D'Arcy. It kind of set the tone for the direction we wanted to take with the rest of the songs. The lyrics are about what it's like to feel your head spinning, you're losing control of a situation, and really just need to remove yourself to gain some clarity. I also make a stupid/fun reference to Hunter S. Thompson's funeral in the bridge.”
