“Eyes” By Wine Lips
Toronto band Wine Lips, recently announced their new album Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party, will drop this Fall via Stomp Records. Along with the news the band have shared the first single/video for “Eyes.” The video, which was filmed and directed by Sammy J. Lewis, begins in a seedy Toronto alley and descends into a chaotic and psychedelic live performance. Singer Cam Hilborn describes the video by saying, “Sammy had the idea of making it look like the band was playing inside a garbage bag, so we did a classic performance video but tried to make it a little more interesting with crazy fast paced cuts and some added green screen fun. It was super fun, super sweaty and we felt like trash by the end of the day.”
Eyes is a one minute and thirty second gate crasher for the band’s emergence back into the live music scene. Cam Hilborn’s vocals sit atop the driving buzz of distorted guitars and the pounding backbeat of Aurora Evans’ drums. Her fierce and driving beats call to mind the band’s frenetic live shows. Commenting on the message behind Eyes, Hilborn says, “Eyes is a song about feeling burnt out creatively, mentally and physically. Something so many of us can relate to, even more so over the past year and a half. It sheds light on situations where you find yourself powering through the days with different coping methods brought on by late nights, alcohol and promiscuity, and seeing how far you can push the limits of your body before you find yourself defeated and broken down.”
