“I only have one rule when it comes to songwriting. That is: whenever I have an idea I stop whatever I am doing and I write it down.” So goes the life of Ben Weaver. And though the Eugene, Oregon-born songwriter spends more time in his basement getting those ideas down than is likely proper or healthy, it’s hard to argue with the results – evocative, hushed songs populated by birds, phone booths, lovers, empty parking lots, friends, shoppers in the checkout line, and plastic bags stuck in trees.

Kill the Vultures don't just make hip-hop. They make junk hop: insulated, spare and stripped down sounds from the rust belt. Willfully restrained, raw and uncooked, Kill the Vultures is a masterful exercise in excision and reduction. Shedding the skin of their previous outing as Oddjobs, MCs Advizer (Adam Waytz), Crescent Moon (Alexei Casselle) and Nomi (Mario De Mira) push hip-hop in a new direction through the tunnel vision and bare-bones production of Anatomy (Stephen Lewis).

From last.fm:

Tarlton is a product of nurture and nature. Maybe it had something to do with founder Brett Bullion hanging out with Minneapolis musicians like Martin Dosh and JT Bates. Or maybe it was something that came innately.   After the disbandment of Bullion’s first music project, Tiki Obmar, he formed Tarlton, a one-man band featuring synthetic loops and drumming. His debut project “Van” turned heads locally, but shortly after Bullion moved out west to Seattle. In the grey northwest, he wrote and recorded Tarlton’s second album: “The Papa Theses” EP.
