Tragic Surf (Capitol Records 1982)

   Some Barkeley and then, Los Angeles music fans from the eighties era might knowing this group originally called themselves The Warfield Foxes before changing it to The Motels; consisting of original member names like Dean Chamberlain, Martha Davies, Chuck Wada with Brian Glascock to Michael Goodroe and Tim McGovern or Scott Thurston and after releasing several great Pop-Rock and New Wave albums; they’re reaching time to the releasing date for the fourth record – All Four One. The album is a good release with Pop-Rock tracks to be liking by their audiences even those whom didn’t ever listening to their music before. Mission of mercy, Take The L, Only The Lonely and Art Fails would becoming great singles as the lyrics themes related so closer to romance and relationships along within thus stories in-between them wrote exactly – good for selling as they’re based on commercialism aspects tighter. Great standard vocals of The Motels' beautiful front-woman as well as the mixing on mid-tempo beats aligned the dance and the rock borderline with saxophones vibrating in the middle of the songs or more synth-electro models of sounds for keeping you satisfied on having this ticklish recording.
