Hotel Crocodile Presents: Lobby Sessions, Track 6: Reader 

BUY TICKETS HERE

Lobby Sessions is an up close & personal music series produced by Hotel Crocodile, featuring artists you already love & others you’ve yet to discover. 

Reader: In a time of facsimiles, replicas, and false tributes, along comes Reader — a bombastic, fearlessly unusual rock quartet from Seattle, WA. Practically speaking, this means stunning and precise vocal harmonies over shattering angular guitars, unconventional time signatures, and a driving rhythm section. Less practically speaking, the band’s debut record Engrams is a journey — a dynamic and unpredictable experience that challenges the listener in all the best ways. Attempting to neatly categorize Reader's sound is a fool’s errand. No clean “recommended if you like” comparisons can be made. The band could best be described as an experimental amalgamation of melodic and layered harmonies over aggressive and mathy guitar-driven rock. Think Alice In Chains meets the late-60’s vocal stylings of groups like CSNY and Simon and Garfunkel. An original juxtaposition of forces, authentic and uncompromised in any direction.

Lane Lines

Like drifting back into the perfect dream you've been aching for, Lane Lines provides the soothing pop-tinged sounds your ears seek out in the darkest of nights. A lucid dreamer themselves, the Seattle-via-Phoenix artist guides their audience on a choose-your-own-adventure, with lyrics of trauma, loss, love and destigmatizing mental health struggles.

Lane Lines was dreamed into existence by Mandi L. Kimes by connecting pieces from the unconscious realm to the waking, pulling threads from Frou Frou, The Japanese House and Fleet Foxes to weave together the coziest, comforting sound of moody vocal harmonies and hazy pop - accurately titled Sweatercore.

The mission behind each stress-relieving song is clear on Lane Lines’ upcoming sophomore album, Lucid Dreaming, due out this summer. The record dives headfirst into the dark, and explores the visions Kimes themself experienced during the difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Otherworldly visits from their late grandfather are interspersed among tributes to those in the waking world — the humans who inspire us to get out of bed daily.

A child of the 90s and early 2000s, Kimes found the only music to tackle subjects of mental health, sobriety, and anxiety head on was the emo scene. Lane Lines is here to bring that message to an accessible, pop-focused audience. Resonating with features on 93.3 Alt AZ and KEXP, and named one of the best new Phoenix artists of 2020, Lane Lines doesn't shy away from spotlighting society-defined "taboo topics" in their music.

"When we realize we're not alone, we finally find validation," says Kimes. "I want folks to know they're heard in their own individual struggles.

H31R Artist Bio:

H31R blends electronica and hip hop together creating an enigmatic but complementary sonic experience that pushes the fickle boundaries of genre. JWords and maassai both grew up listening to a variety of genres and later using the sounds of their youth to expand on the potential and style of their own music. It wasn’t until the two met while playing a show together in 2017 where they’d quickly become friends. JWords and maassai would come to know each other’s respective styles in production and rhyme while developing on their own projects and later build on a mutual desire to bridge the gap between hip hop and electronic music.

CIUDAD DE TAR is an electronic duo from Santiago, Chile that blends post-rock with electronica, creating interesting songs with layers of emotion. Marco Avilez established this project in 2019, with a debut EP titled 'ALMA,' released in 2020. Today, alongside José Tomás Molina, they form an electronic duo crafting purely instrumental concepts rooted in delicate and hypnotic textural layers of guitars, synthesizers, clarinet, loops, and drum machines. With an audiovisual approach that has garnered nominations for their experimental music videos, the duo seamlessly transitions between ambient, electronic, and post-rock, offering an intimate and atmospheric experience. Together, they have released new singles that will be part of the upcoming album, set to be released through the LeRockPsicophonique label. Ciudad de Tar has taken part in significant music festivals in Santiago, such as LEROCKFEST and FERAL. Moreover, the band has headlined Ciclo Modular in both Santiago and Seattle.

Lobby Sessions is an up close & personal music series produced by Hotel Crocodile, featuring artists you already love & others you’ve yet to discover. 

Linda From Work: Linda From Work is a fierce rock band hailing from Seattle, led by Hillary Tusick (vocals/guitar) and featuring Elliott Gregory (guitar), Shayla Riday (bass) & Sam Nowak (drums). Together, they’ve crafted a high-energy sound built on driving melodies and powerhouse vocals that will blow your hair back.

With a defiant and forceful spirit, Linda From Work’s sophomore album “The Night Is Short” delivers an emotional garage rock spectrum of bold vocal melodies punctuated with driving guitars and an energetic backbeat. Steeped in feelings of righteous anger, inescapable anxiety, and deep longing, “The Night Is Short” is a cathartic display of the moments long after the sun sets. Martin Douglas of KEXP writes “‘Jealous” is easily one of the best rock songs to come out of Seattle this year, and frontwoman Hillary Tusick remains virtually unchallenged as one of the city’s best rock singers.”
