Atlanta indie pop/alt band Lunar Vacation have released their new single “Sick” alongside an accompanying video.
The track features on their upcoming sophomore album ‘Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire‘, set to arrive on September 13 via Keeled Scales. Pre-order your copy here.
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 is exploratory, a product of many hours shared experimenting in a living room together. Inspired by prolific shapeshifters like Yo La Tengo and Björk, Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire adopts an ethos that every idea has the potential to be a good one.
Of the new single, guitarist/vocalist Maggie Geeslin ssays: “This song came about after accidentally going to an open mic stand-up comedy show, where, unbeknownst to us, we were the only audience members. No one was funny, and most jokes were made at our expense. I picked this song up again while we were on tour and finished writing it as we drove into Manhattan, which inspired the lyrics about crumbling infrastructure.”
Watch the Maggie Geeslin-directed video below.
