New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Cooperative Music) Vacationer will release their debut album 'Gone' through Downtown Records on 25 June, 2012. Having formed as recently as May 2011, Vacationer worked fast in penning their stunning debut; a heady non-genre defining mix of '60s harmonies, mesmerizing beats and trip-hop dreamscapes.
For Vacationer; who are Kenny Vasoli (vocals, bass), Greg Altman (guitar), Michael Mullin (vibraphone, keys, and trigger finger) and Ryan Zimmaro (drums); the vision behind creating 'Gone' was to act to the listener as an audio postcard, taking each listener far away from their daily life through their rich sonic arrangements and specific brand of epic chilled out pop.
Vocalist and bassist Vasoli has been involved in many musical projects since his teens (most notably The Starting Line), but it was in forming Vacationer that his experimental style fully took shape . Writing alongside Body Language members Matthew Young and Grant Wheeler, the two producers encouraged and exposed Vasoli to a variety of electronic sub-genres including house, dub-step and trip-hop. With an increased knowledge, and a previous in-built love of guitar-based artists like Beach House and The Radio Dept, Vacationer's signature warm tropicali sound was born.
Vacationer have spent the last few months building up a live following in their native US. Having supported The Naked & Famous, t hey are currently on a full US tour with Tennis, and in October will be supporting Bombay Bicycle Club on their US and Canada tour. Live dates for the UK will be announced later this year.
