“Motel Blues” is the new EP from singer-songwriter/actor Ella Hunt releasing September 12th from Historical Fiction Records. The second in her three part “Triptych” series of EPs, these vignettes present a larger portrait of the foundations of her musical landscape. “Motel Blues” highlights three songs, “Motel Blues”, “Reciprocity”, and “When You Leave” written by Loudon Wainwright III that shaped the songwriter in her formative years. Reflecting on their influence she says, “I still remember the first time I heard Motel Blues. I was 14, it was the first Loudon song I ever heard. The un-fussy-ness of the lyrics, their humour, clarity and humanity was so striking. I don’t think I’d ever heard such lonely words but I felt so held by the humanity of them."
