Moonshine (Yea Big Remix)

“Moonshine” is the new single from minneapolis' Kill the Vultures.

mc crescent moon (alexei casselle) lays out an asphalt confessional of Big Apple tor-
ment 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 abra-
sive 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 produc-
tion 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
