With ‘Soft Animal’, the latest taste of The Hotelier’s third album ‘Goodness’, the group find the most fitting of ways to sonically express sudden realisation - delivering a mountainous chorus that’s emotional richness defines finding the one person who makes you feel worthwhile.
“While I lay still in my bed, it’s when I see you there” Christian Holden murmurs as the group burst into life - ‘Soft Animal’ truly becoming universal in its outlook. A brace of uncompromising sentiment and Holden’s despairing anxiety in the loss of feeling whole - “the ring around your mother’s heart, grows separate and falls apart.” The Hotelier have a mighty way of hitting home.
