Hotel Books is a project which combines spoken emotive poetry with ambient/post-rock soundscapes. Fronted by constant member Cam Smith of the Southern California "co-operative music company" Dead Letters Collective, the project was first established in September of 2011. Smith has since collaborated and toured with a rotating door cast of instrumental musicians, finally culminating in a full live band lineup in 2013. Hotel Books' brand of powerful poetry readings have taken Smith and his group on continuous U.S. tours, as well as international tours in Australia and Europe with various hardcore groups.
