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.

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

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.

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 ❤️❤️
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 16 August 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link
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.

Would've thought it just meant "thanks" to supporters... but says "Pt. 2"!!!
― Soundslike, Sunday, 6 September 2020 21:20 (three years ago) link
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
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 6 September 2020 22:52 (three years ago) link
clips posted to their instagram just now.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Monday, 7 September 2020 14:24 (three years ago) link
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?
― Soundslike, Friday, 11 September 2020 19:04 (three years ago) link

great news! what a review.
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:16 (three years ago) link
Awesome. Still waiting on my delivery for the last one though!
― mmmm, Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:24 (three years ago) link
Oh shit
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:34 (three years ago) link
"more obviously dancefloor-focused"
I like the sound of that
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link
psyched

Still waiting on my delivery for the last one though!
mine arrived yesterday so hopefully en route.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:45 (three years ago) link
psyched for tomorrow.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 17 September 2020 19:47 (three years ago) link
Indeed, I like the sound of this one.
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Thursday, 17 September 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link
Got my CDs of '5,' '7,' and 'Untitled (Black Is),' but not LP of the latter. Seems like they're reaching folks in the U.S. now-ish.
― Soundslike, Thursday, 17 September 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
I would *love* for "18 September" to mean midnight, GMT, so I could get this in two hours...
― Soundslike, Thursday, 17 September 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
it’s on spotify here (australia)
― just sayin, Thursday, 17 September 2020 21:09 (three years ago) link
Yeah, that's pretty much how new releases work globally, so you should look for it!
xp
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 17 September 2020 21:35 (three years ago) link
I guess that's assuming you are on gmt time. It should be out by midnight on your local time zone.
