| Photo taken from The Vacant Lots Facebook Recently I stumbled upon The Vacant Lots, a psych-rock band from Vermont, U.S.A. There mixture of minimalist rock, shoegaze and garage psych is exactly what I have been looking for recently. It appears they, like me, are Spacemen 3 obsessives and this comes across in their music. |
They were only formed three years ago yet already have such a definite sound. Thick layers of drones, phasers, synths and dirty guitars all covered in a sea of reverb = perfection.
There debut album is due for release later in the year on Reverb Appreciation Society records.
They are currently on an American tour with garage rock band of the moment The Growlers, with no UK appearances in the pipeline.
I love this great video for their track 'Cadillac'.
They are featured on the fantastic new compilation 'Psych For Sore Eyes', put out by Sonic Cathedral, with their fantastic '6AM'.
The compilation celebrates the best in modern Shoegaze and Psych from across the world and comes with some incredible artwork.
I will be following The Vacant Lots closely this year and cannot wait to hear what they come up with for their debut!
Follow them too:
