Since 2016, Vacation Manor combine an artful blend of eloquent lyricism, alternative experimentation, indie rock energy, and unassuming pop appeal. The duoΓÇöNathan Towles [guitar, vocals] and Cole Young [drums]ΓÇöhave earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Atwood, and more. Now, they pull fans deeper into their embrace on their 2025 "Back To Town" EP.
ΓÇ£We value people above all,ΓÇ¥ adds Nathan. ΓÇ£For us, our music is always better when we can involve our good friends in the process and experience something together. That in and of itself feels like a success for us.ΓÇ¥
This community grasped onto the music and never let go. Vacation Manor emerged with the Girl, Say EP highlighted by ΓÇ£CarelessΓÇ¥ and the breakout ΓÇ£A Toast and a Spirit.ΓÇ¥ The pair progressed over the course of Everything I CanΓÇÖt Say Out Loud [2019] and Vacation Manor [2021]. Along the way, they toured alongside Briston Maroney and Night Traveler. The guys carefully assembled what would become the "Back To Town" EP over two years. This time around, songs represented ΓÇ£different landmarksΓÇ¥ in their shared and individual experiences. Recording out of a home studio in Virginia, Nathan and Cole self-produced the tracks, nodding to inspirations a la Oasis and The Sundays.
In the end, Vacation ManorΓÇÖs community will only continue to grow. ΓÇ£With anything we put out, we want to give people language to the things that theyΓÇÖre experiencing too,ΓÇ¥ Nathan leaves off. ΓÇ£ItΓÇÖs a way for us all to process life.ΓÇ¥
