Another excellent contemporary psych monster from Shdwply, rapidly becoming one of VT's favourite imprints. The Super Vacations take off on the whole Gary War style of F/X-occluded psych/pop mutants, creating a form of modern psychedelia that has nothing to do with loon-pants but is as brain-rearranging and specifically drug-keyed as anything on the International Artists label. The Super Vacations have a weird, refracted garage/surf guitar sound that's somewhat akin to alla them great groups on the Pebbles surf set - The Pyramids, The Fantastic Baggies etc - if they hadda re-grouped in a secret basement sometime in the 90s and re-connected to the freak tradition via Royal Trux (with a guitar sound specifically keyed to Neil Hagerty circa "Bad Blood"), electric Jandek and classic teenage stones like The Bachs, 13th Floor Elevators, Bubble Puppy, et al. Another beautifully muzzy trip through teenage USA from Shdwply. Highly recommended.
