Phantom Planet invites you to take a Mental Vacation with their newest single released on November 6th!
“Mental Vacation” is the third track in a recent string of singles released by the California rock band since September. Following “Yesterday’s Dead” and “Never Apart,” Mental Vacation tackles themes of burn out and feeling overloaded.
Over the course of the song, the intensity and weight of the seemingly otherwise simple lyrics and beat build in a realistic reflection of anxiety and stress. It only gets louder the longer you sit in it, with a sudden end that leaves you no time to recover if you loop back into the track.
Phantom Planet have been sharing the process of creating a new album on social media and have talked about it at various live performances, though they have not formally announced the project. With this rapid release of singles, however, perhaps we could see something by the end of the year? The band has not released a full album since Devastator in 2020. In a recent fan question, they teased a new album that may be titled after this most recent single…Stay tuned!
