Australian Indie Rock Band Vacations Release New Album 'Pursuit of Anything' and Unveil The Video for 'Lucky, Forever'

 

October 6th, 2026 – Singapore – Vacations, the Australian indie-rock band of lead songwriter and vocalist Campbell Burns, bassist Jake Johnson, guitarist Nate Delizzotti, and drummer Joseph Van Lier, release their new album, 'Pursuit of Anything', out today on Nettwerk and unveil the video for album highlight and closing ballad, “Lucky, Forever”.

Burns describes “Lucky, Forever” as “me trying to write the most clichéd love song that I can while trying to be really earnest,” and was directly inspired by his attending the weddings of Johnson and  Van Lier. “I wanted to write a song from their perspective,” he recalls. “I don't really write love songs, and as a subject it's been incredibly overdone. But it was really refreshing to just write something that was so simple when it came to the intention.”

In July, Vacations brought their 'Holy Grail' Tour to Asia for the first time with live dates across the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Now, the band turns the spotlight to 'Pursuit of Anything'.

'Pursuit of Anything' is a labor of love, the product of a group of friends who have been making music together since they were barely out of their teenage years. On it, there are weddings, families, reflections on the past, and hope about the future. “It’s about happiness as a feedback loop,” says Burns of the record’s title, “How you keep chasing the next thing.” It’s a record that feels classic the first time you listen to it, it feels like chasing that rush, that sense of self-discovery and rediscovery. And it shows Vacations at the height of their songwriting powers. It’s a pop record that takes pop music seriously. Lovely, earnest, dreamy and hopeful as they come.

The new album captures Vacations at a turning point as Burns reflects on the disorienting, often contradictory experience of growing up, tracing his path from Newcastle (Australia) to Los Angeles and New York – caught between ambition and the more traditional lives unfolding back home. Written by the band and produced by Burns, the album finds Vacations operating as a fully creative force with Burns drawing constant inspiration from his bandmates: exploring how they share a common experience, yet all have their own “pursuits.”

Mixed by Beatriz Artola (Geese, Caamp), the result is a richer, more intricate, and emotionally expansive sound. 'Pursuit of Anything' arrives as the band solidifies their place as one of the most globally resonant indie acts of their generation with sold-out world tours, double-platinum certified hits, and over 3.5 billion streams. The record turns inward, driven by the push and pull of devotion to music, relationships, and self-discovery. It is this tension that fuels an earnest, dreamy pop album that feels instantly classic.

To celebrate the release of Pursuit of Anything, Vacations have launched The Pursuit Mobile Experience by Lee Martin. It’s an album companion that is inspired by the nostalgic feel of the iPhone OS 3. In it you’ll find custom apps, including “The Pursuit” endless runner game (featuring an 8-bit remix of the song “Holy Grail”), a green checker camera filter, & anonymous voicemail messages of fans from the Pursuit Hotline (call 1-346-PURSUIT now to leave your own).
