Leonhart, Michael
Hotel Music
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2008 Original (Limited Edition #3 Of 200 With Hand Made Jacket Art Featuring Plastic Hearts And Other Stickers). Hotel Music Is A Pastiche Of Serge Gainsbourg Hooks, Bedroom Drone, California Pop (By Way Of Van Dyke Parks), And Downtown Experiments. It Is A Musical Portrait By Michael Leonhart, Session Player To The Stars. It Was Written And Recorded Over The Course Of A Five-Month Stint (If A Worldwide Tour That Long Can Be Accurately Labeled A Stint) Playing Horns With Steely Dan (Yes, Steely Dan). He Passed His Downtime On The Road Abusing Various Camera & Cell Phone Cameras, His Portable Sampler, Laptop And Whatever Instruments That Happened To Be Within Reach. The Result Is A More Experimental Trip Than His Sadly Under-Heard Pop Masterpiece The Ballad Of Minton Quigley (2007, Self-Released).
