The Vacant Lots Announce New LP 'Closure', Stream "Chase"

NYC  electro post-punk duo The Vacant Lots (aka Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen) have announced the release of their fourth full-length album 'Closure'.

The follow-up to 2020's Interzone will be out on September 30th on Fuzz Club Records, and packs 8 minimal is maximal salvos into 23 minutes that coalesce into a stun-blast soundtrack for today’s shattered society. Pre-order your copy here.

New York City’s artistic skyline may have changed immeasurably since the last century, yet the minimalist post-punk/synth-pop duo vividly gouge into the city’s immortal outsider spirit and underground cultural tropes, set against a pulsating backdrop of modern apocalypse.

Low Island Announce New LP 'Life In Miniature', Stream "Can't Forget"

Oxford indie dance quartet Low Island have announced the release of their second studio album ‘Life In Miniature’. 

The follow-up to last year's If You Could Have It All Again, features more delicious alt-pop abstraction, and will be out on November 4th via their own label Emotional Interference. Pre-order your copy here.

Moving on from the promise of their debut, ‘Life In Miniature’ aims to overhaul their methodologies, while remaining true to their melodic instincts. Low Island label it a “sonic photo album; a journey through three years of accelerated change that felt like a lifetime…”

Lead single "Can’t Forget" is beholden to a languid groove, blending into a bombastic chorus that takes cues from Tame Impala and Foals. Throughout it is underpinned by the melancholic optimism and idiosyncratic production that has come to define Low Island’s sound, with space for a brash, spiraling guitar solo, rarely unleashed from their arsenal. This clash of old and new techniques echoes the sentimental approach towards recognition of the past whilst gazing forwards.
