Album review
Lunar Vacation have previewed their upcoming debut album, Inside Every Fig Is a Dead Wasp, with a new single called ‘Gears’. The track comes with an accompanying Nosferatu-inspired video starring songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Grace Repasky. Check it out below.
“When I look back on any kind of relationship, it’s usually through rose-coloured glasses. I guess this song tells me that although this happened, you just gotta keep going because this isn’t the end of the world,” Repasky explained in a press release. “But the last lines are a reflection of how inner-me feels… I’ll probably always be a little sad about the loss. I feel like most, if not all, of my songs are future-me giving past-me advice and insight on specific situations that evoked heavy feelings.”
Maggie Geeslin commented on the video: “We shot this all in a few hours one evening. Nearly all of our neighbors saw Grace lurking in the parking lot and got a good scare. Everyone, including our little crew, seemed simultaneously horrified and amused by Grace’s character. We want everyone to feel a little confused, a little scared, and a little funny after watching this video.”
Lunar Vacation have also today announced a run of 2022 tour dates across North America and Europe; find the list of dates below.
Inside Every Fig Is A Dead Wasp is set for release on October 29 via Keeled Scales. Lunar Vacation previously shared the album tracks ‘Shrug’ and ‘Mold’.
