During the summer of 2021 Two Year Vacation escaped society and set of deep into the Swedish wilderness to the legendary “Silence Studios”,a place truly like nowhere else in this world. Without reception to speak of and with quite a drive to restock on snacks and supplies, the five feel good junkies spent what felt like most of the summer in this house together, BBQing , recording, swimming in the lake and having the best of times. There is a natural beauty to the environment and the presence of all the greats to have indulged in it before them led the way towards, simultaneous nowhere and everywhere.
Something magical happened in that house, deep in the wilderness and what was caught, the little bit of that magic, is what made the embryos for the Swedes new EP ”High Hopes / Low Expecations”. It's simultaneously a serious and a non-serious take on self-improvement and principles, asking the question "is it possible to have both high hopes and low expectations?" through Two Year Vacations characteristic rhythmic beats, flavorful melodies and feel good vibrations
2022 sees a new era to Two Year Vacation, and the first step into this era came February 25th in the form of "Chasing The Morning”, now followed by the second single "Lemons". The EP "High Hopes / Low Expectations” will be out out May 20th on Clouds Hill label.
Two Year Vacation is the band that originates from its own contrast and is all about driving out all stale senses of the mundane. With inspiration from trivial daily routines and dreams they make music that travels in a fascinating blend of Italo disco, rock and Caribbean kraut through easygoing joyful rhythms wrapped in tropical vibes. Influences ranging from ABBA to Fatboy Slim through early Daft Punk, MGMT, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend and Peter Björn & John.
