Hands up who likes songs that make you feel good? Most of you? Excellent! (There’s always a few miserable so and so’s). One of the years’ most uplifting albums is on the way courtesy of Texan indie pop-rock duo People On Vacation (that’s Bowling For Soup’s Jaret Reddick and Smile Smile’s Ryan Hamilton if you didn’t already know).
The brand new People On Vacation album, the wonderfully named “The Chronicles Of Tim Powers” will be available in CD and Mp3 collections on the 8th of December 2014 through Brando Records. The album is named after a member of People On Vacation’s Pledge Music campaign that reached it’s funding target in only a matter of days and the end result is eleven songs that will make you laugh, smile and cry in turn, all the while managing to keep a feel good air to them. The full track listing and album artwork can be seen below:
