Old World Vulture is a Canadian four-piece instrumental post-rock band formed in 2008 in Toronto.
Biography
The band released its debut LP, Trophy Lovers, on July 27, 2012.[1] Old World Vulture has played in several music festivals including Canadian Music Week, NXNE and SCENE Music Festival, and has performed alongside bands such as The American Dollar, Arms and Sleepers, Caspian, Grails, The Luyas, Mogwai, No Joy, PS I Love You, Royal Bangs, and Suuns.[2]
Reception
Critics have said the band's songs bring "an immediacy not often heard in the genre,"[3] and Exclaim! wrote that the band infuses "contagious synth melodies with fuzzed-out guitars and frenetic rhythms, to near perfection."[4] Kate Harper from CHARTattack.com wrote, "I'd long ago written post-rock off as a tired, boring, stale, repetitive genre that lacked creativity. But Old World Vulture's self-titled release holds the kind of promise that's just unique enough to make me reconsider that."[5]
