VACANT LOTS, THE - Berlin Ep (Sealed) (12")

Clear 180G vinyl . This release takes the monochrome sound of the Vacant Lots and adds a layer of Berlin chill to the mix of all 4 tracks . Featuring lyrics from Jeffery Lee Pierce on the 1st track "Promise Me" to the disconnected vocals of Astrid Carter on "Verschwinden" . Then to the shoegazing "Land " & finishing with the throbbing beats of "Funeral Rites" . The band are supporting the release of this EP , with few dates (see below) . The key element of The Vacant Lots' minimalist, primitive rock'n'roll songs is their boundless energy, which tears up the psych template with a genuine punk spirit. This inimal means maximum effect' aesthetic is something they have developed over the past few years, not least by continuing as a two-piece. The notion of duality is also a recurring theme, whether in the band's fiercely monochrome artwork or their lyrics, which deal with life and death, love and loss and the human condition.
