SAULT - Untitled (Black is) (June 19, 2020) Album

This will no doubt be one of the best albums of the year. 5 & 7 were both incredible last year and so far everything I’m reading says this is even better.

Their music is kind of hard to describe so I stole the description below.

“walking an idiosyncratic path that zig-zags between ESG-esque post-punk funk, early 80s boogie and something approaching neo-soul, without ever really fitting into any of those categories or sounding like straightforward homage.“

 

Was intrigued after you mentioned them in the albums thread and was even more intrigued when Guardian said this about their last one...

“Sault make hooky, dubby, funky music with echoes of ESG and Can“

So I’ll definitely be giving this a listen

 

They actually put out 2 albums last year that were both great as well. Hope you enjoy.

 

great band great record

 

“Wildfires” is super cool, excited to listen

 

#1 on the GVB mid year list. Hype to listen

 

Ooh didn’t realize there was a thread. This is so good.

 

Well, isn't this just lovely. Excited to check out their other albums from last year too.

 

Woah! Another new Sault album!

 

Damn! They’re not messing around this year.

 

This new one may be better than Black Is. The rhythms on some of these tracks are insanely good.

 

I think I might agree. Insane that this is their 4th album in less than 2 years.

 

Yeah this second release rules

 

Guess they decided this was a good time to review this now that it’s ended up on every publications end of year list.

SAULT: Untitled (Black Is) / Untitled (Rise)

 

Every outlet under the sun has seemingly included them in their lists, how did p4k manage to completely miss them?

 

checked out some of this after seeing it on Geoff Ricky's list...absolutely rules

 

Listened to Black Is for the first time this year and FUCK I forgot how good it is.

Also, it’s been 9 months since a new release? What’s up with that??? I kid, 4 releases in under 2 years is more than enough to keep anyone going.

 

Oh shit, new SAULT may be on the way!

 

SAULT Announce New Record NINE, Which Will Be Available For Only 99 Days

 

Excited for new music, but the 99 days thing seems pretty dumb.

 

SAULT

 

Bitter Streets through Light’s In Your Hands is an incredible run of tracks, wow

 

This really puts me in a great mood. I definitely see myself revisiting it

 

It’s really good, but not quite on the same level as Black Is or Rise. It’s more on par with 5 and 7.
