Torchbearers for British guitar music, The Vaccines - Justin Young (lead vocals, guitars), Árni
Árnason (bass, vocals), Timothy Lanham (guitars, keys, vocals) and Yoann Intonti (drums) -
are back with their sixth studio album Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations. The title comes from a
misheard lyric from Don McCleans "American Pie," a song that for Young fittingly evokes the
death of innocence and the American Dream. After he moved to Los Angeles - a city the
band has grown up being captivated by - he was forced to wrestle with the disillusionment
that comes when expectations, dreams, and reality dont quite meet. Yet, though Pick-Up
Full of Pink Carnations is an album about reconciling with loss, its also filled with gratitude
for the people and places we once loved.
"Pink carnations symbolise gratitude and tell a person they'll never be forgotten," says
Young. "So whether its the loss of a lover, or a friend, or even just a dream, the record is a
reminder that they'll live on in whatever capacity the mind allows them to. And its a
reminder to keep on dreaming.”
Produced by Andrew Wells (Halsey, Phoebe Bridgers) with Mixing from Dave Fridmann
(Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips), Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations is an immediately anthemic
addition to the bands discography. With a mammoth five UK Top 5 albums - including a
Number 1 with 2012's Come of Age - and a fierce live reputation forged through arena-filling
headline shows and unforgettable slots at Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds, The Vaccines
continue to be a vital band in the British rock canon.
