Formed in late 2016, Vacancy’s debut 7” provides an overview of the band’s foundational sound and vision. Taking influences from Gang of Four, Killing Joke, and The Sound, Vacancy breathes new life into the Inland Empire/High Desert DIY S.Californian music scene. Starting with an ode to Víctor Jara and ending in a dysthymic search for meaning, the band’s lyrical themes blur the personal with the political. The band’s ephemeral gloom and Kiersten Olsen’s haunting, sometimes plaintive voice captures a band driven and inspired by its sunbleached desert surroundings. Mastered by the ubiquitous Will Killingsworth, this is excellent driving post-punk with the accent on the 'punk'. Green vinyl
