about

Vacant Heads is the duo of Christian Donaghey (Autumns) and Oliver Ho (Broken English Club). Anyone familiar with their work, or underground electronic music in the last two decades, probably needs no further introduction.

Having worked together (Autumns' album ‘Shortly After Nothing’ was released on Oliver’s ‘Death and Leisure’ label) and shared stages over the years - Vacant Heads was borne from a desire to both collaborate on tracks and form a live unit.
Their debut self-titled EP is a bold taster of where Vacant Heads are at and where Vacant Heads are headed. These four tracks reek of a brutal and busted city - after hours prowls with fuck all to do and nowhere to go.

In “Crawling Up The Pisser”, Ho’s world-weary treatise on consumerism drools over the nag, nag, nag of the tightest and tautest post-punk electronics.
“Heavy Rain Dub” is a ten minute low-end cruiser. A deep, digi-dub riddim underpins clarinet squalls, jaw harp twang and screwed vocals that feel like a nocturnal trip into Chris Morris’ ‘Blue Jam’…

On Side B, “Street Toucher’s” rowdy snare hits, new wave synths and trademark distorted howl from Donaghey hints at the potential ferocity of their upcoming live shows.
“Swan Dive” rounds off the EP - slowing down the tempo and pulling influence from the renegade sound of Adrian Sherwood’s revered production work with the likes of Tackhead and Keith LeBlanc. The heaviest breakbeats meeting industrial churn and clipped vocal samples.

Vacant Heads. Nothing up top. Pure body music.
