I've seen it called Juke-Goth, goth juke and other variants. I have no idea wtf it means though.
PS: if you like it, you should also check out OoOoO. Search for it on The Hype Machine. There are also some good SALEM remixes. Great stuff.

Was there ever a point when people thought Salem was going to all be about the live show? (That said, that video is godawful and I wish I could unsee it, because the awesome creep factor of those songs just got halved).

this album is pretty cool. the new salem album. it's weird. the c&s vocals work really well. like the horror movie vibe. so sick of getting edbanger-esque crapola in the mail and i feared this was more of the same. you would think that any group that mixes goth eurorave with dirty south beats would be making a bloody mess, but these dudes make it work somehow. there is still SOME justice-ness in here, but not enough to bug me. (in the red treble sickness being my least favorite modern dance music development)

I'll probably listen to the LP, but there's no way that at least half of this band's steez isn't the sort of self-mockery you as part of the audience is supposed to be in on. I mean, really, this quote comes from one of the Fader Fort videos:
You the one who's down with itY'all down with shitBut now my dick hard so go down on itHaaaaaaaah!So smoke it out

i would totally be okay with this being the future of goth. it should be, actually. cuz its modern/dark/cool in a way that a lot of more, um, vnv nation kinda things aren't. (though to be honest i haven't listened to any recent darkwave/ebm stuff in a long time, so excuse me if it all good in that arena. i LIKE that Metropolis sorta thing.)

HOW TO: One Surprising Way to Record and Release a Salem Jam of Your Own
(1) Listen to a lot of The Knife circa Silent Shout as well as that Fever Ray LP(2) Ramble into a microphone about whatever, preferably something less-than-coherent(3) Pitch shift the vocal down a couple of octaves(4) Set your keyboard to something spooky(5) Play random notes in the minor scale of your choice at a relatively slow tempo(6) Insert arbitrary beats you cook up in Ableton in 5 seconds(7) Send your .mp3 to some blogs(8) Be invited to and subsequently appear at a super hyped show and revel in the fact that you're basically taking the piss

― plax (ico), Thursday, 24 June 2010 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
pretty guy + random beats and vocals equals success. i got no problem with that.
― scott seward, Thursday, 24 June 2010 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
this is much better than the major lazer ep i got in the mail too. but i was scared of that before i even played it when i saw the words "thom yorke remix" on the cd.
― scott seward, Thursday, 24 June 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Didn't Salem do an official remix for Thom Yorke?
― Becky Facelift, Thursday, 24 June 2010 15:29 (thirteen years ago) link
It's pretty great, actually (I guess it's a Radiohead song):

wish people would stop calling this goth. this kind of music has none of the earnest melodrama or campness of goth, it's all just too-cool-for-school barely can be bothered post-ironic posturing. not that this is a bad thing, just completely removed from what being goth is about imo

Although it was overlooked in many reviews (including, regrettably, my own), King Night’s penultimate track “Tair” features a vocalist unspooling a druggy tale of criminal exploits that seemingly includes the following couplet: “These niggas calling me, it’d be rude if I don’t go.” The questionably reliable user-contributed lyrics site Genius appears to confirm Salem’s use of the word, but in a statement to Stereogum today, Salem refute that transcription; per the band, the actual lyric is “Think it’s calling me it’d be rude if I don’t go.”
Oh look, Salem is still full of shit
