The Colliflowers - Mirage Hotel
The Colliflowers 4-piece delivers a dynamic fusion of indie rock and pop for the perfect sun-soaked, feel-good soundtrack with debut EP 'Mirage Hotel'.
The idea was seemingly simple, record 6 tracks across 7 consecutive days and once the Sonora Studios
door was opened as a gateway to sonic exploration, the direction of the project started to take shape right away.

Whether it was the combination of tight, syncopated drums with classic rock guitar tones on
‘Moment in Time’, the Steve Miller Band-esque use of feedback manipulated through delays and reverb on ‘Locked Up’ or the snare recorded in an empty parking lot in ‘Holiday’, The Colliflowers and Nigro were completely lost in a creative haze that would ultimately bring fans an EP that feels familiar yet experimental.
With the finishing touches placed on the western-inspired ‘San Pedro’, the surfy ‘As It Goes’ and the indie-rock anthem ‘Waterhead’, the mission was a success and the EP was finished, the only thing that eluded them was a title.
After compiling a catalog of tracks that completely encapsulated The Colliflowers, the band thought it only appropriate to title the EP in a way that expresses their experiences playing shows around the country, living out of hotel rooms, making long-haul flights and drives, looking back at the journey so far in an absolute daze and loving every single minute. When the name ‘Mirage Hotel’ was floated, the band
knew it was a perfect fit and thus ‘Mirage Hotel’ the debut EP by The Colliflowers was born.
Mirage Hotel, the debut EP from The Colliflowers is available to stream now.
