Hotel Mira Bids Adieu To ‘Perfectionism’ Era With Clever ‘Bait & Switch’ In ‘The Eyes On You’

A year in the wake of delivering their first full-length LP, alt-rockers Hotel Mira carries the window ornament down on ‘Compulsiveness’ with a video about the pressing factors of a relationship – yet not the one you think.

On Valentine’s Day 2020, Hotel Mira gave their fans Perfectionism, the primary collection under this moniker. After eighteen months, the affection that the band – Charlie Kerr, Mike Noble, Clark Grieve, and Cole George – has for its fans is as yet continuing forward, yet the sprout is off the Perfectionism rose, and it’s the ideal opportunity for the following section. Enter “The Eyes On You,” the most current video from Hotel Mira, debuting here on TheMagazineCity. Toward the beginning of the visual, frontman Charlie, decked in a pink suit, is feeling it while in front of an audience. Subsequent to performing apparently to an unfilled field, Charlie takes off to the road, proceeding with the presentation.

However nobody is watching, the eyes are on him as he sings — “And the world is barbarous/Put your heart away, leave it some place safe (You never knew)/Then ease up” – until he gets together with the remainder of the band somewhere near the water’s edge. With scoops and a little final resting place prepared, the gathering rapidly covers Charlie’s coat, which showed up in earlier recordings like “This Could Be It For Me.” This move, as Kerr tells TheMagazineCity, denotes a characterizing shift for Hotel Mira.

“As a tune, ‘The Eyes On You’ is a bit of a sleight of hand,” says Kerr. “It should seem like an adoration melody at first tune in, yet the more you focus on the words, you’ll see it is really a tune about a relationship that is crumbling. The video is a considerably more theoretical thought. It’s considerably more about feeling the pressing factor of a group of people and the strain to perform. We likewise considered it to be a decent chance to begin tracking down an emblematic method to end the Perfectionism time — by covering the pink suit coat.”

It’s a splendid creative move by a band that has gone through numerous imaginative passings and resurrections. The Vancouver elective rockers have been known by a modest bunch of various names – The Beauties, JPNSGRLS—prior to moving to Hotel Mira in the last part of the 2010s. The new emphasis has resounded with fans, because of their collection, Perfectionism. Bragging eleven tracks alt-rock goodness (that are however beguiling as they may be enthusiastic), Perfectionism was an ideal initial feeling to new companions and a brilliant way for them to reacquaint with long-lasting adherents. With respect to what’s next for Hotel Mira? Who can tell? However, realize that everyone’s eyes will be on them to perceive what energy they bring to the stone scene.
