Lunar Vacation – Sick
Decatur, GA-based band Lunar Vacation recently announced their fearless sophomore album Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire, and shared the first single “Set The Stage” alongside its Finn Wolfhard-directed music video.
Today the band is back with a new single, album opener “Sick.” Simple on its surface, but punctuated by rototoms, woodblock, and jaw harp,
“Sick” offers an unsettling introduction to the forthcoming album beckoning a coming apocalypse.“The Earth is finally taking back her children,” guitarist and vocalist Gep Repasky sings over the seasick arrangement, voice clear and unguarded, a beacon.
“This song came about after accidentally going to an open mic stand-up comedy show, where, unbeknownst to us, we were the only audience members. No one was funny, and most jokes were made at our expense,” Repasky explains. “I picked this song up again while we were on tour and finished writing it as we drove into Manhattan, which inspired the lyrics about crumbling infrastructure.”
