Sault - What's the story?

the guest is chronixx

― ufo

Oh cool!

It’s a pretty cool trio of songs imho, Inflo nails different 70’s production styles and having a reggae singer on top of them makes a very original contrast. I don’t think I’ve ever heard reggae singers on things that sound like idk Emerson Lake and Palmer.

considering that they teased 10 on twitter & peterson said there's an album coming, i would expect there's probably an album too (just maybe not today?), but you never know with them

There's a full album coming but it's all pearl jam covers

I'd hoped they would do more with Chronixx after working on his recent single, which was stellar. The first part of this in particular is really doing it for me.

£7 for a 10 minute 'album' though.

We're convinced "Angel" is the entirety of 'X'? Where are you seeing it for sale? (Not on BC at this moment...)

Oh, nevermind. Must've just gone up.

Strange pricing, given they'd done previous full albums at that price (or even "name your own price' I think for some).

I'm sure "Angel" is the entirety of 'X' too.

Even more on itunes etc.

£7 for a 10 minute 'album' though.

yeah seriously. I wish they'd at least included the earlier Inflo-produced Chronixx track(+dub) too, esp annoying since his at-one-point forthcoming album seems to have been scrapped

I will never buy this, that's a ridiculous price

Yeah I’d bet on this being the full release.

Hope this isn’t the m.o. for future releases. If they want to release a bunch of ep’s in this format and a compilation it’d be ideal, the un-spliced tracks drive me crazy on streaming though. Makes these tracks very much useless for playlists. It doesn’t seem they mind too much for streaming either way seeing how they removed 9 apparently permanently.

It's pay what you want on Bandcamp.

Definitely was seven pounds earlier today... they must be reading this thread

yes, it definitely was. i bet they are big ILM lurkers.

on bandcamp it's listed as 10 so that's it i guess

some sort of weird issue with the other platforms not letting a release that's a single track be named something else?

xpost -- maybe...we're ALL Sault.

Not feeling 'Angel' but only just catching up with 'Air' now hoo boy...wish I'd spoilered myself more on it so I could prepare for 'Solar' better.

More music coming?

I am!

Any other Sault fans like the newish Sudan Archives album Natural Brown Prom Queen? The opener, especially, gives me Sault vibes:

Yes, it's a good album! I've had it on steady occasional rotation since it came out.

Whuuuuut?

Any ideas?

My god, this is real. 5 albums, all distinct. 56 tracks, almost four hours...

A praise-themed gospel-inflected album, a Zamrock-inspired album, a sequel orchestral album to 'Air,' and a couple that seem to be "traditional" eclectic Sault records--I've only just played the first few seconds of every track...

I am in awe. Literally something that would only happen in a weird dream, where your favorite band gives you a bunch of unreleased albums...

whoa, they're sure prolific

3 hours and 40 minutes all up here

Christmas in November!

That's insane but also awesome

aaaaaaa!!!!

Wtf!

!!!!

"I Surrender" is nice

!!!

Oh Mr. Sault you are spoiling us etc.

Gonna take me a while to process this.

Well yes

I like Sault, often a lot.

This is too much fucking music.

it's pretty good though!

xp ILM card REVOKED

*bursts into sobs*

Thought their rate of putting out music was already pretty crazy but sheesh

Listened to Today & Tomorrow (the Zamrock-ish album) first. It's good; somewhere between Afro-psych and the Jazz Is Dead series run by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

saulted by voices

a saulty salute

lol

this reminds me more of the Aphex Twin Soundcloud dump as opposed to a prolific band, but yeah I'll take it!

I started working on a Sault tribute mix in 2021, and had 14 hours of tracks as a first pass after having culled through about half of my albums... realized it's basically impossible because they distill so many traditions.

And that was before they revealed the further facets of 'Nine' 'Ten' and especially 'Air'. And now all these!

Is that Simz on "Free"?

What!?

WHAT!?

xp also anyone knows who the vocalist on "God In Disguise" is?

also anyone knows who the vocalist on "God In Disguise" is?

getting very strong madonna vibes from whoever that is on "god in disguise" and "life we rent but love is rent free" which are both amazing.
