Lunar Vacation have released ‘Tom’, the latest single from their forthcoming album Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire. It follows previous cuts ‘Set the Stage’ and ‘Sick’. Check it out below.
‘Tom’ was initially named after Vanderpump Rules cast member Tom Schwartz, aka Katie Maloney’s ex-husband. “After revisiting the song years later, I decided to make it less serious and revise some of the lyrics,” the band’s Gep Repasky explained. “It ended up being about unrequited ‘love’ between me and a coworker who I didn’t know was gay.”
The song will be played at the Atlanta Braves baseball game tonight; Braves pitcher Spencer Strider has hand-picked his three Atlanta bands – Lunar Vacation, Trash Panda, and Dinner Time – to collaborate with, and will be giving away 5,000 vinyl for each band.
“I remember exactly when and where I first heard Lunar Vacation – that’s how immediately they became one of my favourite groups,” Strider said. “When I learned they were from Atlanta, it exponentially increased the enjoyment I derive from their music. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have followed their maturation and growth from the beginning.”
Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire will be released September 13 on Keeled Scales. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Lunar Vacation.
