Sounding like “survival” and the wing flaps of “mythical beasts,” local act Ravens and Vultures have an allure all of their own. The hush-hushed vocals of “Willow Tree” and instrumented blips of “Fistswinterbeta” are akin to the lush orchestration of the Broken Social Scene, resonating in layers of percussive cycles and bending riffs. Each track drenched with eased ambience, echoes out in neared whispers coupled with stuttered beats and the colliding shake of cymbals. Smitten with thoughts of magic and the power of myths, this Philly trio plus honorary member Michael Johnson conjure up thoughts of Mogwai with similar post-rock finesse. Between their full-length Last Love and their EP Keep Your Kill, their sound is a deserving shoo-in to become the next big thing if only they played out more. Like a mellow b-side by Black Moth Super Rainbow, Ravens and Vultures play humming psyched out lo-fi that shines with subtlety. Grab the opportunity when you can, and catch their set with fellow fae Michael Johnson and the rest of Ape School, Miniboone (The Deli NYC’s Band of the Month) and Ghost/Light.
