Like a religious ceremony with punk-rock prayers, or an animal baptism to boombap beats, the show that Rafael Vigilantics puts on is a sensory spectacle out of the ordinary. Beat-driven songs with heartfelt storytelling, reminiscent of his New Mexico roots and the folk singing of his mother. His new record, Blue River, Grey Skies, is set to release early next year. Produced by Noah Harmon of Summer Moon/Danny Harrison, the new album adds gritty guitar layers to Viglantics' hip-hop stylings to amplify what is already a psychedelic live show.

BIO
Rafael Vigilantics slips back and forth between the sounds of anthemic guitars, driving synths, and
silence-- like a wild dog who never knew there were lines between the things he loved.
It’s the kind of music that makes you remember.
Big lyrics and stripped down beats--sometimes reminiscent of old punk and other times carrying the
weight and signs of early hiphop, Vigilantics’ vocals seem to cut through at any cost to tell you the story of
how he got here.
