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”), the NYC duo replaced bass guitar with synths and began moving toward its next form.
On new album Vulture, Jon Ehlers and Atif Haq – whose sensorineural hearing loss and Bangladeshi heritage, respectively, provide the basis for the band name – mash chaotic rhythms, euphoric hooks, and plenty of existential horror into songs that teeter between panic and ecstasy. Reference points include Devo, Skinny Puppy, The Locust, Dan Deacon, and Nihiloxica.
Fecking Bahamas describes the new track, “Pastures,” as “an angry screed of poetry with sparse, dislocated drums and some pretty radical synth stabs."
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."
Vulture drops June 21st on Nefarious Industries. A NYC record release show is booked for June 26th at Brooklyn Made.
