So much of the best art, the best music, is exorcism, primal scream, raw and brutal honesty. The act of gathering up all of your fear, paranoia, addiction, love and despair and hurling it into a microphone, ripping it out of a guitar. Just such a record is Fangclub’s second album Vulture Culture, an emotional maelstrom of violence, mental illness, suicide, social vampirism, drug overdoses and not a little romance, howled out in some of the most infectious and visceral rock music of the decade.
Vulture Culture, was recorded during an isolated, month long stint at Giant Wafer Studios in Wales with producer duo Alex Loring and Tom Andrews, that tested and toyed with the band.
