Биография

Under the late-night glow of a lunar muse, Hotel Mira crafted their latest anthem “Dancing with the Moonlight.” The single, produced by Steve Bays (Fur Trade, Hot Hot Heat) and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, The Kooks) arrives at streaming services on April 6th through Light Organ Records. “Dancing with the Moonlight” is the third Hotel Mira single to be released following the breakthrough success of 2020 debut full-length Perfectionism. While other recent tracks were rooted in vocalist/songwriter Charlie Kerr’s acoustic workshopping over IG Live, “Dancing with the Moonlight” took feverish, happenstantial shape at Bays’ Tugboat Pl. facility in New Westminster, BC. Kerr initially strummed its melody out as a possible bridge to another song, but the band and Bays quickly saw potential in transforming the earworm hook into its own wild beast. During an all-night session, and under the auspices of “how can we make this as unpredictable and energetic as possible,” this all manifests via zipline synths, sleek disco strings, and the frantic and fiery coup-de-grace of Clark Grieve’s speaker-blowing guitar solo. “Dancing with the Moonlight” follows the singles “Fever Pitch” (#6 on the Mediabase Can-Alternative radio chart) and “Eventually”, and continues Hotel Mira’s push towards a to-be-detailed sophomore album. The band tour the American southwest this April, with additional North American dates scheduled for May and June.
