Sault were equally cryptic when teasing the news earlier this week.
Sault are ready to put their new album Nine out next week.
It appears the date will be next Friday, June 25th, given that right now their official website gives us ‘107 days left of Nine’. It’ll be available for 99p, for 99 days.
It’ll follow 2020’s sublime Untitled (Black Is) album, which put the band in Live4ever’s end-of-year retrospective:
“The dark times obviously included the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis; Run The Jewels captured the zeitgeist with almost mystic precision on RTJ4,” our feature reads. “Released in the immediate aftermath of Floyd’s murder, the line, ‘First of all, fuck the fucking law’, was among many that added prescience.”
“Other artists used their outlets to shine a light on the Black Lives Matter movement: so much has been written about Sault over the last few weeks (having achieved a near-clean sweep in the end of year accolades) that any further contributions are superfluous, except to say that Wildfires is angelic in delivery but heartbreaking in content.”
“A beautiful call-to-arms and the centrepiece of the other most significant album of the year, Untitled (Black Is).”
