Vulture Feather’s music feels designed to pierce the insidious anxiety coloring our perception of the modern world. At once urgent and deeply empathetic, it asserts the band as a punk project, but also as true spiritual practitioners of music. Listening or live, the impression is clear: Vulture Feather doesn’t just play because they want to, but because they need to. Craving and Aversion, four tracks recorded after their acclaimed second album It Will Be Like Now, sees the band deepen their singular practice of emotionally charged, post-hardcore infused art-rock. McCann and Gossman, known for their stints in Don Martin Three and Wilderness, distill here the sound of a collaboration matured over more than 25 years. Guitars and vocals converse like a duet, on a concise and thunderous rhythmic foundation, delivering intense and direct stories. A sound both sparkling and screaming, resonating everywhere: through clouds and canyons, over troubled waters, to your devices, your ears, and your heart – if you choose to hear it.
