Slacker Island

Description

Pro slackers Two Year Vacation have arrived to bring you your very own getaway, the infectious pop version of a memo to your boss telling him to leave you alone for good. This weekend is forever. Theirs is a shared passion for sun-baked pop anthems, for endless days in the sun and for fancy sundowners by the pool and their debut Slacker Islandis a manifesto for chillaxing the f*** out of yourself. Its an album about escaping to this perfect, sunny, chilled island that has the form of a pizza, keyboardist Max Hessman is inaugurating us novices to the art of escapism.

Their music sounds like that, too. Juicy Pop, so bright it has to wear sunglasses. Usually, it comes from regions of beaches, babes and BBQs. Where it most certainly does not come from is, for instance, Sweden, whose long winters tend to inspire a more gloomy, doomy, harsh kind of that Two Year Vacation would coming from Sweden, and loving it, they still sound like a troupe of hippie renegades from California, like a band of surfers from Hawaii or like a stag night ensemble sunbathing on the beaches of Cancun.
