Barrie Ontario band ACER dropped their music video for Vacant.
A dreamy shoegaze pop tune.
About the track:
When the band started writing “Vacant,” one of the members had just started dating someone after a truly crushing breakup.
The experience of restarting caused them to reflect a lot on the perpetuity of certain feelings and the strangeness of new ones.
Drawing influence from the guitarwork of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, along with Tomberlin’s debut record, “Vacant” embodies the desire to stay in someone’s life far past the point they knew was beneficial, especially given how easy that is with the internet.
Keep them in your contacts, keep the boys you’re dreaming of.
The band teamed up with experimental videographer Gabe Seamon for the official visuals for “Vacant.” The band decided to play with the motion of their performances instead of just the camera, manipulating the boundary of the static screen as a viewing experience.
These lyrics are hella personal and specific. There’s weight to the decisions to not delete someone or to change their name to reflect the change in intimacy between you.
