OUT NOW: Vulture Twin 'Vulture Twin' [Debut EP]

Vulture Twin’s self-titled debut EP is a three-song transmission—“Signal,” “Tides,” and “Messorem”—cut from hypnotic grooves, blistering, fuzzed-out guitars, hazy and haunting synth, and low-burning, entrancing vocals. Rooted in garage rock but reverberating into a more darkly ethereal atmosphere, the songs feel like a dark Baroque hymnal echoing off cathedral walls. Nothing is overworked or too clean. It’s more immediate, slightly unsettled, and intentionally left with a raw edge— like something unearthed. Vulture Twin– Elizabeth Vallero (vocals, guitar) and Eddie Sanchez (drums, bass, synthesizer)-- formed out of a desire to create and share something earnest and cathartic. Recorded during the first snow of a North Carolina winter 2026, the EP lives in that contrast– stillness and movement– something breaking open from the inside, heat and color pushed through sound against a cold, quiet monochrome. “Signal” sits with the silent panic of disconnection, reaching out into nothing and hoping someone or something answers back. “Tides” pushes against inherited harm, pulling at cycles of patriarchal oppression with a sense of resistance and the power of reclaiming the self. “Messorem” turns inward, exploring death, rebirth, and the long arc of healing stretching beyond a single lifetime. “We didn’t want to over-explain ourselves,” they said. “If it feels open to interpretation, that’s probably the point.” Vulture Twin doesn’t want to define itself as much as mark a beginning. “Nothing about this is conclusive– it’s a beginning, and it could unfold in any direction.” This EP sits in the space between isolation and connection, damage and repair, ending and return– and embraces the tension that remains.

Vulture Twin Vulture Twin [Debut EP] is out now and available everywhere as of today.

Buongiorno, everyone!

We took most of the month of May off to visit Bologna, Italy and celebrate our own 26th Year Wedding Anniversary, so not too much activity here in the world of Fort Lowell Records.  Fortunately, while we were there we were able to catch Fort Lowell Records' very own Brian Lopez live in concert at Frida nel Parco, which was real treat!  

That being said, we have a lot of new stuff in the pipeline for the rest of the year ahead — like the debut from Vulture Twin, a brand new EP from BBgail, the release of Female Gaze's sophomore album, and more — so stay tuned.

Grazie mille! Ciao!
