After fronting electro-pop band <em>The Frail<\/em> and performing alongside acts like <strong>Justice<\/strong>, <strong>Hot Chip<\/strong>, and <strong>TV on the Radio<\/strong>, Lannon began to envision something more expansive: a project that could be immersive, cinematic, and deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p>That vision became <em>Vacances<\/em>, a solo endeavor rooted in retro-futuristic synths, heartfelt storytelling, and stylized aesthetics. Combining a decade of indie credibility with an eye for visual direction, Lannon has shaped <em>Vacances<\/em> into a multi-sensory universe \u2014 one that is nostalgic yet modern, polished yet emotionally raw.<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/kitt-wakeley-wins-his-second-grammy\/\">Kitt Wakeley Wins His Second Grammy<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/king-gizzard-phantom-island-tour\/\">King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard Hear A Symphony On New LP, Tour<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/wilco-sky-blue-sky-festival\/\">Wilco Festival Returns To Mexico With MJ Lenderman, Dinosaur Jr.<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1290\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-1290x860.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-466605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-1290x860.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-340x227.jpg 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-498x332.jpg 498w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Media-1-5374F6D2-5885-45E8-9102-0793BA6ACD05-1668x1112.jpg 1668w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Todd Schmiedlin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, Lannon is preparing to release <strong>\u201cDon\u2019t Cry\u201d<\/strong> on <strong>June 27<\/strong>, an unreleased Vacances single that marks a defining moment for the project.
