Turkey Vulture Announce Twist the Knife EP
Give it up for Turkey Vulture having the capacity to both reproduce and rock and roll. The idea, of course that the two are mutually exclusive is and has always been a fallacy as every successive generation of artists and musicians has shown, but as anyone who’s ever encountered one can tell you, babies can be time consuming. Following up on a topical single “Tummy Time” earlier this year, the married Connecticut duo announce now they’ll answer back this Fall with a new short release called Twist the Knife. I only look forward to finding out the lyrical origins of their use of the phrase, should there be any.
Jessie May and Jim Clegg both also have outside projects, from her running Alternative Control and overseeing money management for headbangers to his design and video work. They are, in short, a one-stop DIY shop. Busyness, it would seem, suits them.
The EP announcement, sans finer details, came down the PR wire:
TURKEY VULTURE TO RELEASE NEW EP
Connecticut heavy music duo TURKEY VULTURE is on their way to putting out their third EP, Twist the Knife. Once again recorded by “Black Metal” Dave Kaminsky, the release is expected in late 2021 or early 2022.
Frontwoman Jessie May and drummer Jim Clegg met in 2008, playing together in a local rock band called PINK MISSLE. In the decade and a half since then, they’ve played in several different bands together with their collaboration as musicians becoming stronger each passing year.
But more recently, their relationship has taken on a new identity: husband, wife, and parents. Twist the Knife plays on those roles, as well as weaving TURKEY VULTURE’s gritty Americana with a creeping horror punk influence.
Follow TURKEY VULTUREs YouTube channel for an upcoming “making-of” documentary produced by Jim Clegg.
Lineup:
Jessie May — guitar, bass, vocals
Jim Clegg — drums, artwork/design/photography
