The Los Angeles indie band Saint Motel is cooking their official debut album, ‘Voyeur’, which will come out on July 10 via On The Records.

In anticipation of this full-length album, they are giving away their newest song ‘1997’ for a limited time, and you should definitively take advantage of this opportunity as the explosive epic track is as catchy as many of their previous and other energetic songs. It’s a grandiose and triumphant piano-driven cinematic number with warm choruses, carrying some obsessive nostalgia for the title year.

The song is like a dialogue between a son and a mother, as A/J Jackson sings with confidence at the first verse, ‘Well, I've made so many new friends/With open arms they let me in/They say they'll be with me ‘till the end’’, and the mother-like chorus warns him and asks him to stay home with ‘I heard they can't be trusted/I heard they all wear white’… which crowd are they talking about? Was he going to join a cult or a gang? Ha, it’s like entering a story half-way through it!

Here the tracklist of ‘Voyeur’, and people who have attended some of their last dynamic live shows, will recognize a few familiar titles:
