As one would expect of any historic city, the houses in Decatur, GA are old, and while many have been renovated to suit the needs of the 21st century family, the one Lunar Vacation calls home has not. The porch is quaint and crumbly, the roof leaks, and there is a single bathroom shared by the bands five members who insist that this is not, actually, a bad thing. "We go on tour and share a hotel room for a month and then all come back to the same house," guitarist/vocalist Maggie Geeslin says cheerily, aware that to most, this scenario sounds maddening. "We've become homemakers together. Just beyond the porch, the small vegetable garden produces enough to be proud of; in the cramped living room, there is always enough room for a house show, or a jam session."
For ten months out of last year, engineer/bassist Ben Wulkan transformed the room into the ad-hoc studio wherein Lunar Vacation wrote and demoed their fearless sophomore album, Everything Matters, Everything's Fire. I used to be so protective of the songs when I gave them over to the band," lyricist, vocalist, and guitarist Gep Repasky says. "There's so much trust involved, but this house helped us grow as best friends, as musicians, as a band."
That newfound sense of trust is apparent on Everything Matters, Everything's Fire, whose title, taken from the concluding track You Shouldn't Be, is a thesis statement. While Lunar Vacations last album, 2021s Inside Every Fig is a Dead Wasp, happily bathed in the waters of indie pop, their latest effort is exploratory, a product of many hours shared experimenting in a living room together. Inspired by prolific shapeshifters like Yo La Tengo and Bjrk, Everything Matters, Everything's Fire adopts an ethos that every idea has the potential to be a good one. Our last album was super produced, manicured, Maggie says. This ones organic. We embraced mistakes; it made the work even better. In other words: everything matters, everything's fire.
