Manchester trio Vacant Weekend are checking in with a sunny season preview as they release new tune “Talk” to the masses.

Taken from their maxi-EP due out this summer, the alt-indie, apathy anthem leans into the dog days direction with its expeditious use of rolling percussion and lively riff-work. But it’s lead singer Alex Beston’s off-center verse and hook that serve as resonance exemplar, leaving listeners with a lasting note of reverberation. Addressing their process, the band shares:

We loved the raw, honest depiction of how gritty and lonely daily life can be as an apathetic early 20-something-year-old and tried to recreate that feeling about our reality. It’s also the first song of ours where Alex settled fully into their voice, ending the strive for a ‘technically perfect vocal’ for a sound that was honest and represented them better as a person. In that sense, the song is a nod to that development in our sound.

How’s that for maturity?
