Cumbrian born, Manchester based, Vacant Weekend’s latest release, ‘Proud Of You’, is a standout track from their new EP, ‘Something To Fill The Silence‘. It offers a fresh twist on their signature bouncy style by incorporating a darker, more melancholic tone and message.
On the surface, the song narrates the struggles of a dysfunctional workplace, but the true brilliance lies deeper in it’s meaning as a metaphor for toxic relationships. This in-depth and layered storytelling style is foundation that Vacant Weekend have built their sound around. With a unique blend of Disco, Motown and 2000s indie influences, reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats, Vacant Weekend have pushed the boundaries with this song and incorporated their iconic sound with a more solemn tone.
