As the bleakness that is post-holiday winter in New York stretches endlessly ahead, the phrase, “I need a vacation” rings all too true for many. If you can’t get the time off, look no further than Vacationer’s “Gone EP” set to drop on the last day of the month. Members of electronic collective Body Language plus Kenny Vasoli, formerly of The Starting Line, bring lush waves of ambient indie pop stacked with beachy melodies. The Brooklyn and Philly based band’s dreamy sound is bound to transport souls to a hazy, thoroughly tranquil parallel world. While their music may be quintessentially mellow, Vacationer certainly won’t be relaxing much in the next few months. After they release their EP on the 31st, they’ll be supporting The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, playing shows throughout the US as well as several dates in Canada. In March, Vacationer comes out with their “Gone LP” and will be joining Naked and Famous on another tour. – Corinne Bagish
