The Vacant Lots announce their fifth studio album, 'Interiors', out October 13th and drop single/video 'Amnesia' 

Brooklyn-based minimalist post-punk/synth-pop duo The Vacant Lots are today announcing their fifth studio album ‘Interiors’ and sharing a video for the lead single ‘Amnesia’. 'Interiors' is available to pre-order on hand-numbered gatefold red/black splatter LP (included in the Fuzz Club Membership), Levitation exclusive black/white swirl LP, clear LP and CD and available to pre-order here

‘Interiors’ synthesise all of the band’s past work while pushing forward into the future. It’s Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen’s darkest and most visionary work yet. Ethereal metallic synths and blistering electronics are driven by disco-on-downers dance beats lashed with gutter-rock guitar riffs and icy detached vocals with evocatively concise and lacerating lyrics. 

Recorded over many sleepless nights and amphetamine-fueled mornings in the project’s isolated Brooklyn bunker home studios, ‘Interiors’ follows the band’s minimal is maximal aesthetic coalescing into dark bedroom anthems for loners and lovers with nods to 70s/80s punk and nightclub music ala Joy Division, Iggy Pop’s The Idiot, Depeche Mode, and New Order. The album sees The Vacant Lots team up once again with Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher) on mixing duties, who also worked on the band’s last two albums, ‘Closure’ (2022) and ‘Interzone’ (2020).  

On the single ‘Amnesia,’ Jared Artaud says: "It’s about dealing with duality and integrating the conflicting feelings within a relationship. It’s about feeling dissociative and getting burned by the fire. Then coping with how this inevitably leads to the dissolution of the relationship. This is a mantra for all the songs on the album."
