Hotel Neon is the Philadelphia-based trio of Michael Tasselmyer, Andrew Tasselmyer, and Steven Kemner. Together they create music to get lost in: cavernous, reverberating guitars and synthesizers, matched with visual projections in an immersive audio/visual experience.
Since forming in early 2013, the group has released 9 full-length albums and several EPs. Hotel Neon has toured and collaborated with the likes of Benoit Pîoulard, The Sight Below, Simon Scott, and Marcus Fischer, filling everything from living rooms to cathedrals with their densely layered walls of sound.
Selected Press
“The music crosses over into cinematic terrain, feeling at once epic and incredibly intimate…massive, intangible structures, but with a vulnerability at their core...”
-Fluid Radio
“The music is never in a hurry to go anywhere, weighted down by an unnamed sorrow. The sorrow comes and goes in waves, occasionally replaced by hints of light, like the sun struggling to be seen through the clouds.”
— A Closer Listen
“Hotel Neon weaves long threads of sonic twine into a fabric of dense, deep, and concentrated drone...an atmosphere of sheer beauty, spreading slowly, like a thick morning fog.”
— Headphone Commute
“Hotel Neon has always made subdued ambient music with a measured intensity…they pull from emotional depths and faded memories to shape albums coated in nostalgia. On tape the music is an exercise in idea-building, on stage it is sheer bliss..”
