fwiw the link showed up dead for me so I had to google it and googled link, which workd, shows exactly the same url you posted. Very strange.

The final slash seems to not be a part of the link in the url posted here, and appears to make all the difference.

dammit!
this album is so so so great. i'm hearing parallels with D'Angelo's Black Messiah in some ways, not just because of the subject matter but in the way it's loose, formless, but also extremely confident, like an expert collage.

damn I just realized my post is the only measure of Keiyaa on ILM. This is in a similar vain as the new Sault but better imo: https://keiyaa.bandcamp.com/

This band tick so many of my boxes that it's shocking I haven't really dived too deep into their three albums. I've decided I need to buy one of them on vinyl. Which should I get?
― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Thursday, 30 July 2020 09:34 (three years ago) link
Start with '5' and '7' then also 'Untitled'.
Seriously though, it's all amazing. '7' is my personal fave.
― Soundslike, Thursday, 30 July 2020 13:20 (three years ago) link
OK, had not listened to Kiwanuka until I knew of the link, but it's lovely.
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Friday, 31 July 2020 06:37 (three years ago) link
I haven't listened to 'Untitled' yet but '7' is all-time imo
― weekly shopper helper (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 31 July 2020 08:10 (three years ago) link
It has to have been said, but in addition to Sault x2 + Kiwanuka, Inflo's magic is deep in Kittle Simz 'Grey Area'. Dude made 4 of my 5 top 5 records in 2019...
― Soundslike, Friday, 31 July 2020 21:48 (three years ago) link
I should listen to Little Simz album then!
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
This Little Simz album is great.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Saturday, 1 August 2020 20:56 (three years ago) link
I pretty much endorse any project that Inflo has been attached to. He’s a brilliant musician and producer.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 1 August 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link
And yes that includes a Kooks album!
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 1 August 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
FWIW, on the latest Sound Opinions episode, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot call the new album a "masterpiece" and "album of the year."

With DeRo on our side, how can we go wrong?

Hello,how are you doing?I’m taking my time to check out on my fans during this pandemic period of covid19.Please stay safe out there and remember I care ❤️❤️

This is the message I get via SAULT chat. Anything you want me to ask them?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 16 August 2020 15:55 (three years ago) link
i believe it is a bot, as i received the same exact message.
the plot thickens.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Sunday, 16 August 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link
Have you replied to the message?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 16 August 2020 17:00 (three years ago) link
yes!
i said thank you for making awesome music and the response was, "how long have you been a fan?"
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Sunday, 16 August 2020 17:18 (three years ago) link
At this point, I think I prefer the Cleo Sol album over the new SAULT.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 16 August 2020 18:52 (three years ago) link
why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Sunday, 16 August 2020 20:17 (three years ago) link
It's my year of living dangerously
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 16 August 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
Well, yeah the Cleo Sol album is one of the best of the year. I think I'd agree with it being stronger than the Sault album, but it feels like an extension of the same sort of sound.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:34 (three years ago) link
Absolutely does
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:35 (three years ago) link
i disagree, but they're both in my top five, so whatevs.

i have one thing and one thing only to say:
OH FUCK YEAH
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Sunday, 6 September 2020 21:46 (three years ago) link
seems like a new record to me, they obviously like to crank it out
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 6 September 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link
so the end of the last record goes in a fairly gospel direction, not sure how much I want more if that is what the cover art is indicating

clips posted to their instagram just now.

Previews sound great! Only one track seems gospel-influence from what I can tell. Groove-wise it sounded closer to 5 to me.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 September 2020 16:12 (three years ago) link
I don't want to spoil it so just gave a few seconds' listen to each preview but this sound potentislly right up there with '5' and '7' (love 'Untitled' but just not quite as much). Inflo is Midas but with a happy ending.
― Soundslike, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 06:05 (three years ago) link
Somehow I convinced myself this was coming today, got me through the week.
Anybody heard anything anywhere about it?
