Hotel du Globe – Strange Vision

by Stephan Boissonneault

Hotel du Globe is an 80s alternative rock band from Belgium that called it quits in 1987, but after the pandemic, almost three decades later, decided to give it another go with a new lineup, especially the wonderous, warm and encapsulating voice of Louise Floss.

They now offer “Strange Vision” a song with a Pink Floyd-esque beginning that morphs into a more Joy Division post-punk ballad about the human race, slowly killing and fixing the Earth. Much of the video has black-and-white footage of the Pripyat disaster and nuclear meltdown as shots of the band playing are interspersed throughout. “Strange Vision” is the opening single of the band’s late 2023 EP INTROSPECTION
