Brooklyn-based minimalist post-punk/synth-pop duo The Vacant Lots new studio album "Interiors" is out now. The band has released singles "Amnesia," "Damaged Goods" & "Evacuation" that premiered on Iggy Pop’s BBC 6 Music show. Out now via Fuzz Club, the 8 songs on "Interiors" synthesize all of the band’s past work while pushing forward into the future. It’s Jared Artaud & Brian MacFadyen’s darkest & most visionary work yet. Ethereal metallic synths & blistering electronics are driven by disco-on-downers dance beats lashed with gutter-rock guitar riffs & icy detached vocals with evocatively concise & lacerating lyrics. Recorded over many sleepless nights & 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 & lovers with nods to 70s/80s punk & nightclub music ala Joy Division, Iggy Pop’s The Idiot, Depeche Mode, New Order. The album sees the band team up again with Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher) on mixing duties, who also worked on the duo's last two albums, "Closure" (2022) & "Interzone" (2020). Longtime supporter of the band, & godfather of punk, Iggy Pop said of the band: “I like The Vacant Lots. They try a number of things to just make a musical mood. They’re really not going for ‘this is pop’ or ‘this is dance’ or ‘yeah man rock n roll’ or whatever it is. They just create a nice mood wherever they go.”
