Having previously recorded under the name Petticoat Tearoom, the DC-based Motta infuses rootsy Americana with the Carribean folk of his childhood on this eponymous debut. The Vinyl District calls it "warm and honest... his voice effortlessly cuts through the legions of guitar-slinging songwriters with its weary tone, sweetly soaked in emotion and wrapped in inquisitive lyricism."
