about

Arriving off the back of their recent 'Interzone' LP, Brooklyn electro post-punk duo The Vacant Lots are putting out a new remixed song, titled 'Departure', which has been produced by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Robert Levon Been.

A long-standing crowd-favourite, the track is now set for release for the very first time and is bolstered by the remixing duties of the BRMC guitarist and vocalist, whom The Vacant Lots became close friends with after both bands toured together on several occasions. Blending proto-punk and psych as effortlessly as you’d expect from a Vacant Lots release, the ‘Departure’ remix – due for release October 16th on Fuzz Club – sees throbbing 'Nightclubbing'-esque electronics interlaced with distorted, hard-hitting guitars and vocals that are just as snarling as they are detached.

First conceived when The Vacant Lots were writing their 2014 ‘Departure’ LP but left unreleased and having now evolved over the years since, the song became a staple of the band’s visceral live performances and is now set for a long-overdue vinyl release in the form of a 7” with an etched B-side that’s limited to 500 copies. The remix is mastered by Maurizio Baggio (Boy Harsher, The Soft Moon, Merchandise) and housed in stark, minimalistic artwork by longtime visual collaborator Ivan Liechti.

lyrics

THE STREETS ARE A LONELY PLACE
NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
THRU THE UNRELENTING CROWDS
COMING BACK AT DAWN
WE MUST BE VERY CLEAR
IF WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND AT ALL
OUT ON THE BALCONY
MOVING SLIGHTLY TOWARDS THE LIGHT
WIDE AWAKE IN DREAMS BEGIN RESPONSIBILITIES
ABANDONED BY THE UNIVERSE
TO DISAPPEAR & NEVER RETURN
WAITING FOR DEPARTURE
WAITING FOR DEPARTURE
WAITING FOR DEPARTURE
