Daydream Vacation releases ‘Dare Seize the Fire’

Published 1:36 pm Wednesday, June 20, 2012

The new Daydream Vacation record ‘Dare Seize the Fire’ was released yesterday. This is something I have been waiting for since last summer and the finished product was worth the wait. From the opening track (the title track) I was wiggling around in my chair wishing it were acceptable for me to get up from my desk and dance around the office.

Daydream Vacation is the pairing of Dave Einmo from Head Like A Kite and Asya from Smoosh. The two have worked together in the past when Asya has been featured on HLAK tracks and they liked working together so much that they finally decided to officially join forces and create Daydream Vacation.

The name of the new band is appropriate since every time I listen to one of their songs I feel like I’m taking a fun little break from whatever is going on in my day.

I spoke to Asya and Dave after their first show as the new band back in August of last year and asked what makes this project not Head Like A Kite.

“One big difference is Asya singing all of the songs. I also think the approach we are taking as a full collaboration as opposed to HLAK where ive been more involved in all the song writing, this really is an opportunity for us to work together and write all the songs together and as a result I think the sound brings a lot of our favorite types of music into this new project” Dave said.

This record is the perfect mix of gorgeous vocals and fun dance music and it is already dominating my iPod. You can see Daydream Vacation live at their all ages CD release Party this Saturday at the Crocodile in Seattle for $10.

Below you can hear the whole record and see the video for the title track ‘Dare Seize the Fire.’
