Since 2012's Gone, Vacationer have continued to bring their rhapsodic, vintage-inspired electronic pop into ever sharper focus. Lead singer/songwriter Kenny Vasoli clearly has a love of classic AM pop, which he balances with a DJ's knack for sampling and recontextualization. It's a tactile approach he further hones on his superb 2018 album, Mindset. Think '60s symphonic exotica looped with performative, Brit-pop-esque vocals and you'll get a pretty good sense of the decade-mashing vibe achieved here. As with 2014's Relief, this album finds Vasoli weaving together a batch of hooky, aurally enveloping songs that sparkle with a romantic, often dreamy atmosphere. This is a particularly buoyant brand of indie pop that touches upon flowing '60s psychedelia, soft rock, and '70s soul, often within the same track. Many of Vasoli's songs also evince the cut-and-paste approach of hip-hop, minus the MC flow. In that sense, the album certainly fits nicely alongside bands like Gorillaz, as well as similarly inclined albums by other contemporaries like AM & Shawn Lee. Cuts like "Magnetism" and "Euphoria" are rife with echoey backing vocals, bits of captured harp and percussion, and of course Vasoli's yearning, brightly attenuated croon. Similarly evocative, "Blue Dreaming" mixes '80s synth pop with jazzy vibraphone accents, and "Strawberry Blonde" sounds like a '70s John Sebastian song if produced by Todd Rundgren. With Mindset, Vacationer offers up immediately likable and often euphoria-inducing songs that put you in the mood to keep listening.
