The Vacant Lots share 'Evacuation' the third single to be lifted from incoming album 'Interiors' out Oct 13th
Brooklyn-based duo The Vacant Lots are dropping their new single ‘Evacuation’, the third to be lifted from their incoming ‘Interiors’ LP out October 13th on Fuzz Club. Arriving off the back of recent singles ‘Amnesia’ and ‘Damaged Goods’, ‘Evacuation’ sees a blistering disco-on-downers dance beat shot through with lacerating guitars and icy detached vocals. 'Interiors' comes in a hand-numbered, limited to 500 gatefold, on 180g clear-red vinyl w/ black splatter and 180g clear vinyl & CD, which is available to pre-order here
The Vacant Lots’ Jared Artaud says of the track: “Evacuation is about internal conflicts and the duality of love and loss within a relationship. Looking inward and carving out the pain was a mantra for the whole album. You get this moment in time and space to translate complex feelings into the work. It cuts both ways. You’re creating something out of necessity that can also be shared with other people to inspire them or make them feel less alone. That’s what I’m after.”
Brian MacFadyen adds: “This track immediately resonated with both of us early on in the ‘trading demos’ phase of writing the record because of its primitive and raucous aesthetic. It taps into the original DNA of the band.”
The 8 songs on ‘Interiors’ – The Vacant Lots’ fifth studio album – synthesise all of the duo’s past work while pushing forward into the future. Ethereal metallic synths and blistering electronics are driven by disco-on-downers dance beats lashed with gutter-rock guitar riffs and evocatively concise and lacerating vocals. “I like writing songs you can dance or zone out to”, Artaud says: “That duality of individual listening and music played in a crowd has always attracted me. A cross between the club and headphones. Music for loners and lovers.”
