Ahead of the release of their new album Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire, which drops on September 13th via Keeled Scales, Lunar Vacation have shared one last preview of the LP, with the track “Fantasy.” The band will be touring the album, starting September 14th in Atlanta, Georgia.

“”Fantasy” takes a look inside of my daydreams that are sometimes difficult to get away from,” says lyricist/vocalist/guitarist Gep Repasky. “Sometimes it’s more comfortable to live in your own bubble and watch scenarios in your head all day. We composed the track to feel isolated, with just guitar and vocals in the verse, and then the band suddenly coming in all at once, to kind of mimic an intrusive thought.”

Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire – produced by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, Toro y Moi, Of Montreal). The record is 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. “Our last album was super produced, manicured,” guitarist and vocalist Maggie Geeslin (she/her) says. “This one’s organic. We embraced mistakes; it made the work even better.” In other words: everything matters, everything’s fire.
