“Moonshine” is the new single from minneapolis' Kill the Vultures.
mc crescent moon (alexei casselle) lays out an asphalt confessional of Big Apple torment and white lightening relief over Anatomy's searing in the red chain gang rhythms & wailing saxophone skronk.
On the flip, Fog (lex, ninja tune) pitches in with a tonic of euphoric dub & collage to ease the nerves & Yea Big (Jib Door) ends the joyride with a skiddish drill & bass treatment that'll bring out your deepest nervous tics. Dementia Tremens, anyone?
Selected Praise
"Kill the Vultures is a band hell bent on using beats and rhymes to sound like bent hell, flipping abrasive and dissonant punk and bop samples instead of the typical boom bap."
Dave Hlubeck, Fader
"It's the best underground hip-hop I've heard this year"
Salon.com
Voted Best Hip-Hop Artist by City Pages
"...innocative avant-rap that sounds a little like walking through a tool shed in the dark while carrying
a boombox blaring free jazz."
City Pages
" This is some Last Poets, Magic Band, gang-funk, dirty-ass, hip-hop, beatnik, smacked-out-jazz business. Take a listen."

"Dark, quality production, good rhyme flows. If you get high or are the serious mad-at-the-world type, you'll love this."~Prince Paul, XLR8R magazine "Kill the Vultures sounds like an attack on the slickness of mainstream hip-hop: the brutally lean production style is almost lo-fi, and the rhymes echo the hectoring of Def Jux acts like Cannibal Ox and El-P."
- Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
