More Info:
The American duo The Vacant Lots, release their first four track EP on A Recordings. This release takes the monochrome sound of the Vacant Lots and adds a layer of Berlin chill to the mix of all four tracks: "Promise Me" features lyrics from Jeffery Lee Pierce, "Verschwinden" features the disconnected vocals of Astrid Carter, then the shoe-gazing "Land" comes before the finishing, throbbing beats of "Funeral Rites". The key element of The Vacant Lots's minimalist, primitive rock'n'roll songs is their boundless energy, which tears up the psych template with a genuine punk spirit. Poetic, but with a streetwise swagger; psych, but with a punk attitude.
