Park Hotel are a post-electronic dance band based in London, UK. Centred on the creative duo of Tim Abbey and Rebeca Marcos-Rosa, they explore the mirrorball-noir territory between alternative arena electronica and wired downtown songwriting. Watch the video for Gone As A Friend via YouTube below. The clip was directed by Victor Duchêne, the video is a portrait of the sleek dusky world Park Hotel’s music inhabits.
Live their metropolitan disco-rock studio incarnation expands into a steamroller six piece neo-funk band, featuring three-way vocal harmonies, two guitars, drums, percussion, keyboards and ample cowbell. They sound like a joyfully communal face-off between LCD Soundsystem and Earth, Wind & Fire with flashes of Talking Heads and even a sprinkle of Steely Dan.
Following their headline show at The Lexington last week, Park Hotel have confirmed a new London show in March, with more to be announced soon:
