Flood Magazine reports: “Bangladeafy continue to cross the beams of organic and electronic sound on new track ‘Prism.’ The brutal-prog duo’s synth-focused fourth album ‘Vulture’ lands June 21st… Bangladeafy makes music that’s nearly as upfront as their moniker — a portmanteau referring to the Bangladeshi heritage of drummer Atif Haq and the hearing loss suffered by multi-instrumentalist Jon Ehlers.”
After wowing the underground for years with its prog-punk shredding (what one VICE writer described as “Lightning Bolt and The Melvins eating big, greedy spoonfuls of each other’s candy-colored vomit”), Bangladeafy replaced bass guitar with synths and began moving toward its next form. Ehlers states: "Vulture is the sound of Bangladeafy settling into our purest form... My true passion has always been synthesizers."
On Vulture, Jon Ehlers and Atif Haq mash chaotic rhythms, euphoric hooks, and plenty of existential horror into songs that teeter between panic and ecstasy. Reference points include Devo, The Locust, and M.I.A.
Speaking on his hearing disability, Ehlers states: "I’ve certainly faced criticism, or murmurings that I might not have what it takes to hang with the big dogs, so to speak, because there’s a limit to what a hearing disabled musician might be able to do. If anything, I feel that I've proved myself and have worked harder to get there."
The official Vulture album release show is scheduled for June 26th at Brooklyn Made in Brooklyn, NY.
