Two Year Vacation is the band that originates from its own contrast. The quintet founded in Gothenburg, Sweden's second city – a seaport known for its rain, headwind, and grayness – makes rhythmic radio-friendly feel-good indie pop.
With inspiration from trivial daily routines and dreams the music travels in and through a fascinating blend of Italo disco, rock, and Caribbean kraut with easygoing joyful rhythms wrapped in a tropical vibe. Musically the influences range from ABBA to Fatboy Slim through early Daft Punk, MGMT, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, and Peter Björn & John.
Opposite to Swedish international pop songwriters Two Year Vacation isn’t about smacking you in the face with sensation, but sending you a postcard inviting you to dance along, smile, and move a bit back and forth.
With a contagious charm Two Year Vacation thrives from finding the bright colors in between the tones of grey in their surroundings and is all about driving out all stale senses of the mundane.
