The eclectic new music stream from Sault continues.
Sault have shared a new single today, the 10-minute Angel which is being presented as an EP.
It follows the choral, classic shift to Air earlier this year which had itself followed Nine – a Live4ever album of the year in 2021.
“Nine is of a lesser scale and scope,” our review reads. “Available for 99 days from release – it’s not clear what this means – the focus isn’t this time global but instead fixed squarely on London, an inside-out view straight from the capital’s ends.”
“Emotions are often strained: spoken word interlude Mike’s Story is a stark portrayal of a son receiving the news that his father has been murdered, while the ESG-styled London Gangs also refuses to flinch, dead-eyed judgment passed in lines such as, ‘London gangs/RIP postcodes/It’s all you know’.”
“This claustrophobia rounds out on Trap Life, the who’s protecting who from who lie, and its adjacent paranoia, summed up with, ‘And we don’t trust these cops/Tell me who’s taking shots’.”
