“Exceedingly authentic, catchy, and honest … laden with earworm lyrics and bright sounds.” – Atwood Magazine
Virginia-based indie rock duo Vacation Manor —Nathan Towles and Cole Young—show off their softer side with their warm and pensive new single “You” from their upcoming full-length album, details to follow. They say, “Writing this song was such a refreshing and exciting experience. We got to cite so many influences, while still making something that felt fresh and original. During the recording of ‘You,’ there were so many golden moments where ideas were steadily and freely flowing, and once we stepped back from it, we realized we had a song that’s quite special.”
Painting in broad strokes of lush guitars, bright melodies, shimmering rhythms, and cinematic and intimate lyrics, Vacation Manor have been making music together since 2016. The indie rock/pop duo’s debut EP, Girl, Say, yielded fan favorites such as “A Toast and a Spirit” and “Careless.” On its heels, 2018’s Everything I Can’t Say Out Loud elevated their total streams past 25 million. In 2019, they reteamed with Girl, Say producer Kyle Cummings and wrote and recorded their new EP, Thoughts In Progress, Pt. 1, which was recently released via their new label home, Nettwerk. The EP features stand-out track “Apt. 4,” where breezy acoustic strumming and delicate drums give way to fluttering melodies. RIFF Magazine commented, “the track has a ’90s acoustic pop-rock feel to it with the bright chords and fluttering melodies,” while Cheers To The Vikings said “this song is going to leave you stuck on repeat for days,” and Independent Music Reviews called Vacation Manor “a lush indie pop duo.”
