Watch: The Vacant Lots Air "Suicide Note" (Vocals by Alan Vega) New Video

NYC/Vermont psych/rock duo The Vacant Lots (aka Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen) have aired the video for their latest single "Suicide Note" ft. vocals by Alan Vega.

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Endless Night', set to arrive 21 April via Metropolis Records. Pre-order your copy here.

A few weeks before Vega's sudden death in 2016, Jared visited Alan’s Manhattan apartment to play the finished album, since Alan was going to write lyrics and record vocals for the album’s “Suicide Note.”  After he passed away, the band received permission to go through Vega’s vault to find a vocal track for the song. After selecting an unreleased Vega track, they played it with the instrumental version of “Suicide Note” and realized it was a perfect fit.

The video was directed by Shane McKenzie. Take a look below.
