    Motel Raphaël is a young indie-folk-pop band from Montreal, led by Clara Legault, Emily Skahan and Maya Malkin. Since their inception in 2012, this seven piece outfit has risen through the ranks of Montreal’s burgeoning indie scene at an astronomical pace. Headlining performances at POP Montreal, Osheaga, CMW, Fringe Fest, M for Montreal alongside ranking in CBC Music’s national Searchlight competition have garnered them comparisons to Tegan and Sara, Feist, Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons as well as unabashedly glowing praise from the press community. Their harmonies are haunting, their lyrics honest, and the delivery of their performances are wrought with a heart-melting sincerity that will warm the coldest soul.

    Motel Raphaël’s debut full-length Cable TV is a soaring tale of heartbreak, longing and redemption delivered with a songwriting maturity that far exceeds the fact that the band members are all still in their early twenties. With their eyes set firmly on the horizon, Motel Raphaël are poised to become THE band to watch in 2014.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Motel Raphaël est un groupe folk-pop-indie montréalais composé de sept musiciens avec, comme figures de proue, Clara Legault, Emily Skahan et Maya Malkin. Formé en 2012, le groupe a acquis une notoriété certaine autant sur la scène locale que nationale, ayant notamment représenté leur ville lors du concours Searchlight , organisé par la radio de CBC . Représenter le ‘’Montreal sound’’ a été un honneur, le groupe adorant Montréal et étant fier de faire partie intégrante de sa riche mosaïque culturelle. Les sept musiciens ont participé par la suite à plusieurs festivals dont Pop Montréal, le Festival St-Ambroise Fringe de Montréal, M pour Montreal ainsi qu’au Canadian Music Week. Ils ont également joué à Toronto, Ottawa et New-York.

    Motel Raphaël lancera son premier album Cable TV le 13 juin prochain. Ce premier effort musical portera sur les amours déchues, la nostalgie et la déception qui en découlent, puis de leur renaissance, le tout à travers une plume mature, ce qui pourrait étonner pour des auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes âgés d’à peine 20 ans. Leurs harmonies sont envoûtantes, leurs paroles, honnêtes et leurs prestations musicales, d’une réelle sincérité sur scène. Motel Raphaël sera sans contredit LE groupe à surveiller en 2014.
    Press:

    "Motel Raphael are the most exciting band to come out of Montreal since Arcade Fire." - GQ Magazine

    “Elles nous offrent une pop romantique, brodée d’harmonies vocals et de reflexions feminines” – Elle QC

    “Elles sont belles, au début de la vingtaine et arborent un look d'enfer. Elles surnomment leur appartement de Saint-Henri «The Princess Mansion». Leur chat adore les champignons. Elles ont grandi dans un univers bilingue, entre l'Ouest-de-l'Île et le Plateau.” - La Presse

    “There’s a tangible note of nostalgia that wends its way through much of the writing, amplified by Skahan, Malkin and Legault’s thrilling and often chilling three-part harmonies. It’s especially evident on propulsive pop songs like the clever and compelling Ghosts, the rootsy, cool London and the relentlessly ear-wormy new The Things You Should Have Said. ” – Montreal Gazette (cover story)

    “Quand je suis tombée sur le band Motel Raphaël, je ne pouvais faire autrement que tomber en amour avec le style (musical et vestimentaire) des trois front ladies. C’est comme un rêve devenu réalité. Je capote.” – Ton Petit Look

    “Montreal’s Motel Raphaël is a band that’s reaching for the stars at the speed of light.” – Open Til Midnight
