Vacaciones Permanentes is the indie project of Iván Andrés Vallente from Salamanca, Spain. This self-titled debut album combines rocking guitars with drum machines and synthesizers, with the aim of capturing the spirit of those who wander aimlessly in a world that doesn’t understand them. The atmosphere is cinematic and ominous, wild and dark, but also exciting and danceable. The Spanish-language lyrics reinforce that feeling, such as in Tu Warhol (translated): “I’m the idiot who could have been your Warhol // I’m the idiot who could have been your Warhol // Convince yourself that you hate me // It’s easier than being a friend // Shoot me I must be shot.” It’s a hypnotic journey that seems to be inspired by the night life, but also created for that period when others sleep.

The self-titled Vacaciones Permanentes album, produced by José María Rosillo, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Everlasting Records.
