Interzone [+ Cold Cave remix 7"]
'Interzone' is the third full-length from Brooklyn, NYC post-punk duo The Vacant Lots. Following its release last summer and quick sell-out, the LP is now getting a second pressing via Fuzz Club Records. Picking up high praise from the likes of Iggy Pop, BBC 6Music, Henry Rollins, Loud & Quiet, Uncut, Brooklyn Vegan, Line of Best Fit and countless others, âInterzoneâ is a genre-blending synthesis of dance and psych.
Uninhibited by the limitations of two people and continuing their mission of âminimal means maximum effect,â The Vacant Lotsâ Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen create an industrial amalgam of icy electronics and cold beats with detached vocals and hard-hitting guitars. 'Interzone's trance-like opener âEndless Rainâ and the kinetic Krautrock stomper âInto The Depthsâ are followed by scintillating dark disco anthems 'Rescue' and 'Exitâ. Side 2 kicks off with 80âs synth-pop track âFractureâ and haunting after-hours minimal wave âPayoff,â while âStationâ and album closer 'Party's Over' deal with disillusionment and conquering oneâs indifference to make real change.
The album creates order from chaos and delves into escapism, isolation, relationship conflicts, and decay. With nods to William S. Burroughs and Joy Divisionâs song of the same name, âInterzone is like existing between two zones,â Jared says. âInterzone doesn't mean one thing. It can mean different things to different people depending on their interpretation. Working on this album was a constant struggle reconciling internal conflicts with all thatâs going on externally in the world. Interzone, in one word, is duality.â The album was engineered by Ted Young (Rolling Stones, Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile), mixed by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Merchandise, Boy Harsher), mastered by Gianni Peri and is housed in striking artwork by long-term collaborator Ivan Leichti.
