Virginia indie-rock duo Vacation Manor tackles feelings of insecurity and comparison on “January (Over & Over).” Harmonics and slide twinkle through acoustic guitar and a steady groove on the band’s latest single. Listen HERE.

“I remember I definitely felt a sense of being overwhelmed, wondering where some fresh inspiration was going to come from,” Nathan admits. “I just needed to write a song about that and get it off of my chest. It deals with feelings of insecurity or comparison when starting a new record.”

“January (Over & Over)” follows the release of “Back To Town,” a breezy, softly strummed tune about the emotional return home. Details about the bands upcoming EP are forthcoming. 

Since 2016, Vacation Manor combines an artful blend of eloquent lyricism, alternative experimentation, indie rock energy, and unassuming pop appeal. The duo—Nathan Towles [guitar, vocals] and Cole Young [drums]—have earned acclaim from American SongwriterAtwood, and more. 

Vacation Manor emerged with the Girl, Say [2016] EP highlighted by “Careless” and the breakout “A Toast and a Spirit.” The pair progressed over the course of Everything I Can’t Say Out Loud [2019] and Vacation Manor [2021]. Along the way, they toured alongside Briston Maroney and Night Traveler, in addition to performing at festivals such as Bright Shade Music & Arts Festival. After over two years, the band is pulling from their roots and shared experiences on their forthcoming EP, set for release in 2025.
