Vacances Creates a Cinematic World Where Emotion Meets Movement

Dive into the vibrant world of Vacances, where emotion and movement blend seamlessly through retro-futuristic synths and heartfelt storytelling.

Crafting a Unique Musical Universe

For San Francisco-born artist Danny Lannon, the creative mastermind behind Vacances, music is more than just sound—it’s an entire experience. After leading the electro-pop band The Frail and sharing stages with renowned acts like Justice, Hot Chip, and TV on the Radio, Lannon envisioned a project that would be immersive, cinematic, and deeply personal. This ambition gave birth to Vacances, an artistic journey that fuses retro-futuristic synth sounds with heartfelt narratives and striking visuals.

With over a decade of indie music experience and a keen eye for visual storytelling, Lannon has meticulously shaped Vacances into a multi-sensory universe. It’s a place where nostalgia meets modernity, where polished production intertwines with raw emotional depth.

The Upcoming Release: “Don’t Cry”

Lannon is gearing up to drop the single “Don’t Cry” on June 27, a significant moment for Vacances. This track, co-created with the electro-pop luminary Penguin Prison, has been remixed into an electrifying dancefloor anthem pulsing with emotion and rhythm. What started as a reflective ballad transforms into a vibrant celebration of movement and healing.

Lannon explains,

“The remix gave it this energy that felt like healing in motion — like you could dance your way through the sadness.”

This perfectly encapsulates the essence of Vacances: vulnerability wrapped in shimmer, sadness infused with style.

“Don’t Cry” offers a glimpse into the exciting new chapter ahead—a forthcoming Vacances EP featuring collaborations with talented artists like Penguin Prison and Mae. This next phase promises to deepen the focus on visual storytelling, world-building, and fashion, inviting listeners to escape into a neon dreamscape that feels both amplified and authentic.

Lannon shares,

“I’ve always wanted Vacances to be a place people can escape into — a neon world where everything feels heightened, but true.”

With “Don’t Cry” leading the way, Vacances continues to build a soundscape that’s transportive and honest, where future-pop sounds collide with style and heartfelt emotion.
