Tune in on Sunday, November 3rd at 4pm to hear Melodrama’s recent interview with Decatur, GA based band, Lunar Vacation, before they play The Warfield in SF on November 11th.
While Lunar Vacation’s last album, 2021’s Inside Every Fig is a Dead Wasp, happily bathed in the waters of indie pop, their latest effort, Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire, is exploratory…a product of many hours shared experimenting in a living room together. Inspired by prolific shapeshifters like Yo La Tengo and Björk, the new album adopts an ethos that every idea has the potential to be a good one. “Our last album was super produced, manicured,” Maggie says. “This one’s organic. We embraced mistakes; it made the work even better.” In other words: everything matters, everything’s fire.
Produced by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, Toro y Moi, Of Montreal), this record is the product of a band who grew up together as childhood friends but have since become something deeper and more profound. Now living under the same roof and having overcome life’s challenges together, Lunar Vacation have grown as best friends, homemakers, and a band, having learned to trust their instincts, as well as each other.
Lunar Vacation is Gep Repasky on guitar & vocals, Maggie Geeslin on guitar & vocals, Connor Dowd on drums, Matteo DeLurgio on keys and percussion, and Ben Wulkan on bass.
