Staff Writer

Lots of eye and mouth action going on here

An eye for an eye - or lip?

Chris Baio, bassist for the Vampire Weekend also releases music under his Baio moniker as you probably know. He's just released his latest EP Mira and today, we have the film clip for the title track for you to check out.

The spacey, dance number has a simple yet pretty unique clip to match - basically it's just a bunch of close-ups of people's eyes and mouths, moving in sync with the song. Take a look for yourselves below:

Mira is the follow-up to Baio's 2012 EP Sunburn and continues a vastly different style to that of his other day job in VW. Our reviewer Stephanie Tell gave the release four stars, calling the EP "undeniably solid". It's out now via Future Classic.

Baio and his Vampire Weekend pals will be in the country soon for the Falls Festivals and Southbound along with a couple of sideshows. Check out theGuide for more info.
