Just The Crust 22/12/25: Motel Sundown – The Waiting Game ๐ŸŽถ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “The Waiting Game” from Motel Sundown! ๐ŸŒ™

we’ve covered their music a bunch in the past and it’s always a pleasure to review their tracks – we love their feel-good americana sound, full of gorgeous vocal harmonies and expert wordcraft ๐ŸŽต

this new single proves their talent exceptionally, with a luscious soundscape from the get-go, and their vocal harmonies crafting a lovely atmosphere, complimented excellently by the instrumentation. you can really hear their passion and love for music in the track, and they’re able to convey the story of the song so well in the lyrics, really showing their expertise in songwriting. it’s a gorgeous listen and another fantastic track under their belt! ๐ŸŽง

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full live video to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw8x_FjZ25k ๐Ÿ“น
