You probably remember Gold Motel frontwoman Greta Morgan from the time she spent singing and playing piano for the Chicago-based Hush Sound. (She was known as Greta Salpeter back then.) When that band called it quits a couple years ago, Morgan headed to Southern California to write Gold Motel’s self-titled five-song EP, which she recorded with friend Dan Duszynzski (This Is Me Smiling) when she got back to the Windy City. Morgan and Duszynzski then added Matt Schuessler and Adam Kaltenhauser (both of This is Me Smiling) and Eric Hehr (Yearbooks) to the band’s lineup and issued their debut album, Summer House. Gold Motel just self-released a new seven-inch, Talking Fiction, and we are proud to premiere the Eddie O’Keefe-directed video for a-side “Cold Shoulders” today on magnetmagazine.com. Catch Gold Motel on tour for the next month with Hellogoodbye.

This video is so hilarious and I totally love the new song!!!!!! I’m going to seee Gold Motel play with Hello Goodbye tomorrow in Houston and can’t can’t can’t wait!
Also the boys look really handsome in this video and greta looks gorgeous!!!
SO FUNNY! The song is super rad, too.
It’s so refreshing to see a band with a sense of humor. So many musicians take themsevles way too seriously these days. Love the song, btw.
I see they watch Tim and Eric. Total rip-off.
That was awesome! Greta can really hit some high notes! “YOUR COLD SHOLDERS!” YEAH!
The guy with the Rickenbacker is a bonafide badass. Got to find boots like those! Cool band.
I can’t deny that gold motel has talent. But word of advice get someone else to do your videos this is a total rip off of. Great band deserves better videos. It distracts from their talent.
Where is the subliminal messages? I want some more freeze frame of Luke’s face.
