Some words from Eva about “Video Camera” 👇
"Video Camera" was mostly written by Ryan with a couple of lines from yours truly. It's a bit of an oddity, a dance sort of number with a lot of Talking Heads influence. I really dig the frenetic energy that absolutely explodes towards the end of the song. (2)

Religious zealots who believe queerness only leads to damnation. And the namesake of the song, the centrists who claim that we'll be just fine regardless of who's in charge, yearning for the "good ole' days" while living in the comfort and ignorance afforded by wealth. (2)

"2003" was a song written by our guitarist @ryanthellama and touches on a number of bewildering ideologies. Incels and edgelords who believe feminism is why they can't get laid. People who take solace in an echo chamber rather than attempt to understanding and empathize. (1)

Fun fact, “2003” was originally supposed to be our first single post-lockdown, but we eventually decided to swap it out for SWW. Here are a few of the Y2K style show graphics we used before we changed our minds. You can still see the influence of these in the final single art

2/4 We're so thankful for all the people who’ve come to shows, listened to our songs, and showed up in ways both big and small—you're the heart of it all. August Hotel has been such an amazing ride and we can't wait to see what comes next for all of us.

1/4 Our last show, on sale now— Friends, it's bittersweet to tell you that we've decided to close the chapter on August Hotel. Making music together has been one of our greatest joys over the last decade, and we couldn't have done any of it without you.
