Rose Haven Motor Hotel - “Just Fine, Thanks”

Rose Haven Motor Hotel, from Jackson, Mississippi, has just released the warm and inviting indie rock anthem, “Just Fine, Thanks.”

Just Fine, Thanks” is a smooth moving, relaxed number filled with therapeutic powers. Yes, it is musically simple locked into a cyclical groove. A peaceful arrangement of traditional rock instrumentation of drums, wandering bass and electric guitar… and maybe a hint of 1970s soft rock in places… but that is exactly what is needed. The song is nothing short of crisp and effective. The type of track that makes you feel the sun is shining and that it’s good to be hopeful.

The musical layers mesh incredibly well together. From the steady drum groove that is neither dominant nor weak, warm bass and warbly lead. The highlight is definitely the stratospherically good, breezy rhythm electric guitars that are comfortable on the ears. They truly make the song coast along effortlessly. It definitely invites you to play the song on full volume whilst cruising down the highway.

With a blend of melancholic reflection and optimistic resolve the endearing vocal is incredibly calming to listen to. It holds the same approachable, wistful and soothing quality that the Eagles captured so well, and at which modern acts like CVC excel. Relaxed phrasing, light harmonies and full of depth.

On the track, the artist adds: “Chill, fun indie pop rock song that might be my favourite song I’ve released. Lyrically, it encapsulates the overall theme of the EP that it closes out - the idea of claiming to be fine while everything that isn’t is waiting just under the surface.”

Just Fine, Thanks,” taken from the EP Just Peachy, is an elegant, mellow song filled with classic guitars and gorgeous singing. It is a perfect example of indie rocks reflective, gentle side. Simply sublime. Put it on repeat and drift away. Connect with Rose Haven Motor Hotel: Spotify | Bandcamp | Instagram | Website
