I love emo, but it can sometimes take itself way too seriously about topics that are actually so light as to be ridiculous (take Heart Tattoo by Joyce Manor). The Hotelier, especially on this album, is a serious exploration of serious topics. But not only that, it’s done well, it sounds good, it’s catchy and memorable and I find myself unable to stay away from these songs for too long.
Favorite track: Two Deliverances.
