Favourite Song: Too Late, Colin
Some sweet Atlanta pool rock for the next post.
Lunar Vacation was a lucky chance find on my Spotify discover weekly, ‘Swimming’ was the first song I heard and I absolutely had to check out the rest of their music, and eventually the band itself. They’re pretty similar in age to me, and that people so young can be so talented is equally parts inspiring and humbling (maybe one day I’ll be able to play something of the same quality), and the fact that they’re really just out there, having fun and travelling together doing live shows all over the place is really just the cutest thing. ‘Too Late, Colin’ is my favourite song - there’s just something about the concept, and maybe there’s an aspect of personal connection with the speaker within the song, but the overall sound and the focus on synth makes it such a great listening experience for me personally.
In every aspect: lyricism, instrumentation, vocals (and anything else that makes up a song) this band pretty much excels. The synth (because of course that’s what I’m focused on) in all their songs is just so so good, Matteo will never not amaze me, hell all of the members are just amazing and god Grace’s voice, oh boy! I think it’s safe to say they have a flawless discography, I absolutely can’t wait for their future releases, especially now that John Michael Young has left to pursue his own solo projects, I wonder if that will affect their sound at all? Guess we’ll have to just wait and see.
‘She had a party and nobody came’ will never not give me shivers, it’s probably one of the best opening lines of any song ever.
