Hotel Last Resort

Violent Femmes

Acoustic punk veterans embracing a leaner, more contemplative sound. Dry percussion, snapping bass, and Gordon Gano's unmistakable nasal delivery remain front and center.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's slow-burn tension featuring Tom Verlaine's signature jagged guitar lines weaving through the acoustic core.
The meta-humor of Another Chorus where the band playfully complains about the repetitive nature of pop songwriting.
The stark, haunting simplicity of the a cappella harmonies on Sleepin' at the Meetin'.
