Hotel Books


Hotel Books is a spoken-word project started by Cam Smith in Porterville, California in 2011. Their music is based on Smith's poetry, which is read over some ambient/indie instrumentals, which usually consists of some clean, noodly guitar sounds that are pretty commonplace for emo/math rock-esque bands. Hotel Books are definitely comparable to Listener, since they share the same basic concept of spoken word being accompanied by gentle instrumentals. Cam Smith's vocal delivery is also pretty similar to Dan Smith's. In all honesty, I'm not really into this band. Not that there's anything really wrong with them, I could just cannot get into them. However, they are by far one of the most requested bands I get, and their discography is small, so I see no reason not to share them with those of you looking for them. Enjoy.

    Here's a b-side album very similar to Everything We Could've Done Differently, "This is All We Have" - http://www.mediafire.com/download/szlw393ii6gltjv/Hotel+Books+-+This+is+All+We+Have.rar
    And here's a single, "Jesus Freak" - http://www.mediafire.com/download/m5ea43yakuac2a2/Hotel+Books+-+Jesus+Freak+%28dcTalk+cover%29.rar
    And finally here's a couple live recordings - http://www.mediafire.com/download/gxksa5252mgpuxz/Hotel+Books+-+A+Few+Live+Songs+-+Recorded+Live+in+Zoersel-+Belgium.rar

    I can't seem to find "2013 Tour EP", "Amid the Beautiful Devastation" or "Call Me Human" (three older releases).

    EDIT: The first few tracks of This is All We Have were an EP, "Found Out I'm Not So Brave" (the remainder of the tracks on TiAWH can be found on Everything We Could Have Done Differently) - http://www.mediafire.com/download/58c06b1asvyv118/Hotel+Books+-+Found+Out+I%27m+Not+So+Brave.rar
    Found "2013 Tour EP", here's that - http://www.mediafire.com/download/8rdjod2fdsih125/Hotel+Books+-+2013+Tour+EP.rar
    Also found their first album, "Call Me Human" - http://www.mediafire.com/download/939nznstkcpj4a2/Hotel+Books+-+Call+Me+Human.rar

    Amid the Beautiful Devastation can be found in its entirety on EWCHDD. To the best of my knowledge, that should be every release to date.
