Daily Vacation emerged 2011 as a three-piece band from mastermind Ralph Zeimet’s darker electro-rock project Fracture after long-term  collaborators Sébastien Laas (Cyclorama) and Mike Tock (Metro) became increasingly influencing the sound and vibe of their musical output. Heavily influenced by the bright and positive vibes of the early 2010’s chill- & synth-wave movements, Daily Vacation always played with the contrasts of raw and energetic DIY garage rock, endlessly layered moody ambient sequences and the somewhat cliché’d imagery of escapism: beaches, palm trees and Pina coladas.

On their first LP, 2012’s “Yumaque”, released on the excellent French-Canadian independant label ChezKitoKat Records, they seamlessly meander through the sonic beauty of psychedelic sixties-inspired surf music, dig deep into shoegaze and pair it with motorik-style drum jams underneath a whole bunch of layered dreamy synth lines.

After a brief patch of gigs and despite rather positive reviews, the band went on a 3 year hiatus. In Spring 2016, Laas and Zeimet met again and started experimenting with alternative recording and editing techniques. Over the years the effect pedal collections have been growing, real analogue synthesizers added to the mix. During the next 5 years, the duo wrote two dozens of full-lenght tracks. “Palmela”, the long-awaited follow-up album, has been released on 30th august 2022.

TEMPTATION, New EP, Release date: November 21st 2013
INDIE/NEW WAVE/PSYCHEDELIC

We created Unique Records in June 2001 (now renamed We Are Unique ! Records), and remained faithful to our basic manifesto - to defend complex and original music, across various musical styles. To promote the originality of our productions beyond business rules.

Despite the ever-growing difficulty of being an independent label, we've got through, and we've found a faithful audience, willing to hear our attempts of renewing the so-called independent music. We've also met successful critic response (Les Inrockuptibles, Magic!, Coda, Rock Sound, Rolling Stone, Mouvement, Trax, etc.).

We Are Unique ! Records has developed in France and abroad, collaborating with fellow French labels (Another Record, Monopsone, Effervescence, and Drunkdog) and foreign ones: Chemikal Underground, Moonpalace, Superglider, Megaphone Music. We have broadened our broadcasting network to USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Sweden, Poland, Portugal, and (hopefully) more countries will come soon.

Our signed artists include ANGIL & THE HIDDENTRACKS, LE FLEGMATIC, MICHAEL WOOKEY, RAYMONDE HOWARD, INFLATABLE DEAD HORSE, OLD MOUNTAIN STATION, LION IN BED, SAFFRON EYES, MELATONINE, 0°, LUNT, HALF ASLEEP, MIDGET!... We constantly keep seeking continuity, currently releasing the sequel albums of artists who brought their first efforts to our label. We obviously keep looking for new talents - which is one of our priorities, with still the same everlasting spirit of sincerity and integrity.
