The apex of over three hundred live shows along side Cursive, Braid,
Jucifer, Hey Mercedes and more, in three and a half years, Jet By Day's
third full-length, The Vulture, packs a road-weary punch. According to
band's lead singer David Matysiak, it's the tale of a yearlong struggle, I
was feeling torn apart, and left for dead, he admits. And thank God for us
he was. The result is an agonizingly beautiful album, at times both stark
and lush, but always what David himself calls "Heavy-Indie-Southern-Rock."
A single scratched voice is the only life amidst the sand-filled wasteland
that is The Vulture. The group sounds hunted from above, sustained only by a
half empty bottle of Whiskey and the memory of past voices now silenced.
Eleven tracks rise and fall like the phantom waters of a dry riverbed,
oscillating between the dementia of grief and the hangover clarity of the
morning after.
