**** The Vacant Lots ***
*** Evacuation ***
Synth-Punk-Electronic Brooklyn-based duo
october 2023
“Evacuation” once again finds the band immersed in the gothic fringes of ‘80s post punk, balancing out propulsive rhythms with searing guitar textures and dark aesthetics
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.”
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.”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 SCREAMERS
Late 70's synth punk pioneers. No guitars or bass, just a live drummer, two guys on synths, and a manic lead singer.
The greatest band to have never released an album. Not even a single for that matter. Only bootlegs and live recordings exists, and most of those were never seen or heard until YouTube was invented.

I read somewhere that every wall's a door to something new
Yeah well if that's true, why can't I get through?
Cause I'm not who I thought I was
And I can't explain, yeah.
No, I can't explain
Yeah, but it feels like... I'm falling through a hole in my heart.
Just falling through a hole in my heart.
Don't try to reach me for nothing at all.
I could walk around fall in love with a face or two.
But it wouldn't be you, but it wouldn't be you!
Cause you're not who I thought you were.
No I can't explain.
No, no I can't explain.
But it feels like I'm falling through a hole in my heart.
'Cause I'm falling through a hole in my heart.
Don't try to reach me for nothing at all.
I can't, I can't explain.
Stop!
