While Lunar Vacation’s last album, 2021’s 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 Björk, 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,” guitarist/vocalist Maggie Geeslin says. “This one’s organic. We embraced mistakes; it made the work even better.” In other words: everything matters, everything’s fire.
