THE YOUNG VEINS
Take a Vacation! (One Haven)
Release Date: June 8
The Skinny: When they left Panic! at the Disco last summer, Ryan Ross and Jon Walker cited "musical differences," which in most break-up scenarios is akin to attributing a hole-in-one to gravity. But it also happens to be a good way to keep the focus on the music, which is where their new band, the Young Veins, comes in. The outgoing duo worked closely with Phantom Planet's sunny songsmith Alex Greenwald on Take a Vacation! (whose exclamation point can't be insignificant, can it?) The result is a debut full of shorter, punchier songs bound to make Panic! fans more than a little bit curious.
Fast Fact: Take a Vacation! was produced by Rob Mathes, who has arranged and conducted music for an insane number of acts. A short list: Lou Reed, Jay-Z, Fall Out Boy, R. Kelly, Ghostface, Sade—and Luciano Pavarotti.
