Formed in 2011 as a side project for Philly-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Kenny Vasoli (also frontman of emo pop punk band The Starting Line), VACATIONER blends the escapist dream pop of Beach House with the quasi-mystical electropop of Animal Collective. Rhythmic, heady, and hypnotic yet peppered with heartfelt lyrics and genuine emotion, VACATIONER released its debut EP in 2011, followed by the full-length "Gone" in 2012; both were put out by Downtown Records. In 2018, they delivered their third studio album, the Daniel Schlett-produced "Mindset". Included on the album were the singles "Being Here" and "Magnetism".
