Vacations

I Was Bikini/But Rain Afraid 7"/Digital Download

Record Label | Flameshovel April 7, 2009

Recorded and Mixed by Tim Iseler. Cover by Beth Hoeckel

Vacations make a sound that, amidst all the buzzwords and hype-machines, serves to remind you that music is the ultimate meme. It is what you make it and how you choose to let people hear it. So staying true to what it once inherently meant to be an independent band, Vacations decided to forego what is now the obvious band routine. The pattern of "make an album, make someone put it out and make it sell" is not for them. They've retreated to the DIY-roots that abound in the songs they're creating, but haven't left the present tense behind. They brought it all back home.
