Moving back to his home state of North Carolina, he put together his ideal band that included former Archers of Loaf drummer Mark Price and producer / guitarist Al Weatherhead.. Together they made a record you'll want to hear every day, with pop songs that you get closer to after each listen-like your favorite Nick Drake record or something off of Court and Spark. The music is richly layered with melodious keyboards, crisp guitars, soft pianos and a generally laid-back feel. Like The band, Hotel Lights play with authority and confidence, creating their own brand of timeless pop. Jessee's vocals are as distinct and endearing as the songs themselves. His warm, warbled tenor is similar to a mellower version of The Shins or a more heavenly Will Oldham. But it's his lyrics that set him apart from his peers, with an honest, storytelling quality.! He writes about the "Marvelous Truth", laments the golden age of 70's radio hits, and repeatedly touches upon the holy trinity of great pop records: love, loss, and starting over.
