REVIEW: Vulture Twin - s/t

[Repost from If It's Too Loud; by Ken Sears, June 4, 2026]

Vulture Twin are a duo out of Chapel Hill, NC featuring Elizabeth Vallero (vocals, guitar) and Eddie Sanchez (drums, bass, synthesizer), who used to be in The Love Language and Fing Fang Foom. They recently released a three song self-titled EP that's going to be loved by fans of 90's indie rock, particularly the North Carolina scene. The songs have a noisy and drone-y quality to them, with a lo-fi element that is decidedly a feature of the songs. Plus, all three tracks are heavy on psychedelia, which is only aided by the use of synthesizers. Maybe it's because I've been listening to a lot of Fiery Furnaces in anticipation of their show in Somerville, but I'm getting vibes of a trippier version of that band. Vulture Twin knocked it out of the park on their debut release, and we can't wait to hear more from them.

You can listen to Vulture Twin's new EP below. It's out now on Fort Lowell Records, and is available via Bandcamp. For more on Vulture Twin, check out the band on Instagram.

Psych garage rock Duo Elizabeth Vallero and Eddie Sanchez used a hell of a lot fuzz on the self-titled EP by their Vulture Twin project, three dusty sounding songs wherein guitars and muffled synths are trying to commandeer the spotlights. The push and pull between the instruments has spilt over to the songs, ensuring that melodies that are pretty as such don't get a chance to become sugarcoated or, even worse, boring.

The pair set out to create a bunch of tracks that they would love to hear themselves and offer them as a take-it-or-leave-it statement. They may sing about wanting to connect (Signals) and the need for healing after going through a rough patch (Messorem), but those things will need to happen on their own terms, a very rock 'n' roll outlook on life indeed.

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.
