Lunar Vacation have announced a new album called Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire. Produced by Drew Vandenberg, the follow-up to 2021’s Inside Every Fig is a Dead Wasp is out September 13 on Keeled Scales. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the lead single ‘Set the Stage’, alongside a music video directed by actor and musician Finn Wolfhard. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
“Our last album was super produced, manicured,” guitarist and vocalist Maggie Geeslin said in a statement. “This one’s organic. We embraced mistakes; it made the work even better.”
Commenting on ‘Set the Stage’, Gep Repasky shared: “This was the first love song I wrote about someone and then sent it to them. That is the first and last time I will ever do that. Love can make you do really strange things. It took some convincing on my end to fully realise this song, but that’s the best part about making music with my bandmates; they are the voice of reason and I trust them. So once the walls were down, we went in blazing, and changed the vibe of the sad, acoustic demo to the monster that it is now.”
Finn Wolfhard added: “When I listened to ‘Set the Stage’ I was taken by how atmospheric it sounded. The feedback and droning guitars made me think of dark and rich environments. Gep’s beautiful melody offsets the darkness by bringing a levity and brightness. The goal was to have that melody reflected by dance, choreographed by the amazing Elana Wulkan. We had an amazing crew and I’m honoured that Lunar Vacation asked me to direct this video for them, and even more honoured to call them friends.”
