Indie rock duo Tommy Lefroy has shared new single “Vacuum,” the final preview of their forthcoming debut album, The Precariat, out October 23 via Thirty Tigers. “Vacuum” reflects on bandmembers Tessa Mouzourakis and Wynter Bethel’s experience of launching the project in London, where they knew virtually no one outside of each other, and the pressure chamber that created. It’s about a relationship you stake your future on - like building “an empire in a vacuum.”
“Vacuum is a rare song about us,” says Tommy Lefroy. “While we typically pull from our individual experiences, or external references, Vacuum is very simply about moments we’ve had together on our journey. It’s about the whirlwind experience of starting the band in London, where we both felt completely isolated and out of our depth at times, giving everything we had to a pipe dream project with no promise that any of it was going to work. There was a blind faith we had in each other early on.”

Within the larger world of The Precariat, “Vacuum” offers a deeply personal testament to the connection and community at the heart of the record. Taking its title from the economic term for a growing class of people living with increasing instability and uncertainty, The Precariat examines what it means to come of age in an increasingly unpredictable world, ultimately finding togetherness as an antidote to isolation.
Written over six years between Nashville, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Michigan and London, the album draws from literature, art and history to connect larger cultural forces with the anxieties and contradictions of life today. Previous singles include “Angel in the House,” inspired by Virginia Woolf’s landmark 1931 speech Professions for Women and the modern resurgence of trad-wife culture; the melancholic slow-burn “Thief”; and sharp-edged, satirical summer anthem “Slush Puppy.”

The album’s literary underpinnings were recently explored in a SPIN feature, which dubbed Tommy Lefroy “music’s biggest book nerds” and highlighted the duo’s practice of hosting book swaps at their concerts. From Virginia Woolf and suffragette Mary Richardson to Guy Standing’s The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, these influences become jumping-off points for songs connecting history with the instability of the present day.
