Saint Motel have unveiled their radiant new single, “Fine Wine” via Elektra Records today. The new single follows the group’s recent single, “Everyone’s A Guru Now,” which marked the first new music from Saint Motel since the release of their acclaimed 2021 studio album The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
About “Fine Wine,” frontman A/J Jackson shares, “Like a punch in the gut and a slap on the back at the same time. Find peace in the chaos, see beauty in the impermanence, and cherish these moments that slip through your fingers like sand. Life’s a bottle you keep coming back to, savoring the taste of joy and heartache, knowing damn well it won’t last, but you keep raisin’ that glass anyway. Embrace the mess, ’cause it’s all we got.”
Earlier this Spring, Saint Motel wrapped the sold-out first leg of their 2023 tour, The Awards Show. Delivering an experience unlike any other trek the quartet have embarked upon, the very special tour gives fans the power to choose what the musicians play through partially fan-voted setlists. Bringing The Awards Show experience to fans around the world, Saint Motel livestreamed the run’s final sold-out date at New York City’s Webster Hall, where they delivered the live debut of “Everyone’s A Guru Now”. Next month, Saint Motel will embark on the second leg of The Awards Show tour kicking off September 13th at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall in Dallas, TX, and making stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Portland and more.

In 2021, Saint Motel released their latest studio album The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The album arrived to widespread acclaim from People, SPIN, Paste, Ladygunn, Billboard, American Songwriter, and more, and saw the band deliver an unforgettable performance of lead single “Van Horn” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Additionally, the band teamed up with the Fames Orchestra of Macedonia and renowned film composer Duke Bojadziev, to bring The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to life in its entirety on stage during a global livestream. The show notably featured the film score transitions previously composed by Duke, live in the Macedonian capital of Skopje. In support of the LP, they headlined The Director’s Cut North American and European tours, selling out venues on both continents in 2021.
