Lunar Vacation Share Tom Single

While I’ve dabbled in being a fan of Lunar Vacation, I’m totally onboard with their next record, at least from the three tunes we’ve heard, including this new single below. On the surface, it’s just a generally good pop rock number, with a chorus that has all the right elements to cast a spell over you. That said, it’s the nuanced little moments in the band’s craft that really ask you sit with the record; go to the 2:13 second mark, where the dreaminess is pulled apart for just a little more playfulness and tension building, pushing you up that pop mountain only to reach the top and shoot you joyously down the other side with a big ol’ grin upon your face. Everything Matters Everything’s Fire is out September 13th via Keeled Scales.

Lunar Vacation Release Sick Video

July 16, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The video is sick, but it’s also “Sick,” so be sure we don’t get those sentiments confused when talking about the great new Lunar Vacation track. For my meaningless two-cents, this is the band taking the modern indie rock sound and stretching it a bit beyond; I love how the vocals just feel casual, as if they’re in no rush to really deliver the hooks. The space behind Gep’s voice feels a bit more dangerous than one might expect, which bodes well for the tune (and the album) as you can gravitate towards that bit of and edge while still being swept up in the emotional power. When they briefly break it all down at the two minute mark, you’re in for a nice little 10 second treat that’ll keep you circling back for your fix (and that dreamy fade out–this song has it all). Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire is out on September 13th via Keeled Scales.

Lunar Vacation Announce New LP + Share Set the Stage

June 17, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The musical world can sometimes be serendipitous. Just last week, I was talking with a friend from Australia who was looking for bands to tour with in the fall; they were going through Georgia, so I suggested Lunar Vacation, then myself traveled down an LV wormhole. Wake up today, brand new Lunar Vacation video on the Internet, with an announcement of a fresh LP for our friends over at Keeled Scales. This beautifully choreographed video directed by Finn Wolfhard accompanies the band’s latest single, and man, this is the sort of set-up that builds anticipation of a new record…as if they really needed an extra dose. Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire will be out September 13th.
