Great Vacation!


Great Vacation! is the third studio album by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based band Sleeping in the Aviary, released on November 30, 2010 on Science of Sound Records. In January 2011, the band released a trilogy of music videos made for three of the album's songs: "Y.M.C.A. ", "Maria's Ghost", and "Last Kiss on a Sinking Ship". The video for "Last Kiss on a Sinking Ship" had originally been released in November 2010, shortly before the album itself was released.

Style

Great Vacation! is somewhat more soul-influenced than Sleeping in the Aviary's previous albums, and features an increased emphasis on polished melodies. Many of the album's lyrics are about surreal topics, and almost all of them are about love. Sleeping in the Aviary frontman Elliott Kozel has called the album “a gooey exploration of spine-tingling animalistic human behavior.”
