VULTURE FEATHER – Craving And Aversion – 10” EP – Vinyl [DEC 12]

10” EP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl. Cuts taken from Februarys 2025 album It Will Be Like Now sessions that did not fit on the album.

The music of Vulture Feather seems designed specifically to cut through the insidious dread that has come to colour our perception in these current times. It is a music of urgency, but also of deep empathy. Vulture Feather is undeniably a punk band, but it is also clear that they are spiritual practitioners of MUSIC. Upon seeing or hearing Vulture Feather play, there’s an overwhelming sense that they are not only making this music because they want to, but because they have to.

“Craving and Aversion“, four songs recorded in the wake of their acclaimed, sophomore full-length, “It Will Be Like Now“, finds the band delving deeper into their unique practice of emotionally potent, post hardcore-indebted art rock.

The heads will know McCann and Gossman from their time in the prehistoric Don Martin Three (recently re-issued catalog by Numero Group) and later, Wilderness (Jagjaguwar). While prior efforts are beside the point, this is undeniably the sound of people who have been making music together for 25+ years.

Glistening as much as howling, the guitar and vocals function as duet, delivering The Only Story Ever Told over a concise and thunderous rhythm section. It’s the sound emulating from everywhere, all the time, through thick carpets of clouds, reverberating off canyon walls, through troubled waters, and finally to your devices, your ears, your heart, if you choose to hear it.
