Love SAULT x
Just process that for a minute. Five albums. Fifty six songs. Over three and a half hours of new music. For free.
What is even more incredible is that this is SAULT's eleventh album since 2019. Eleventh!
Before yesterday, SAULT had already released one album (AIR) and one EP (Angel) in 2022, which I wrote about last month. My mind is boggling at the statistics, let alone the quality of the music.
When I posted about SAULT for the first time last year, I described the challenge of curating a SAULT selection:
Each
album is a compelling listen and trying to compile a selection for this
blog is both seemingly impossible and deceptively simple.
In the end, I
copped out by creating an acrostic, tracks from each of the five albums
spelling out the collective's name.
Even so, I think it hangs together
really well and will hopefully encourage you to search out more.
I
started this post at 5.00am today (2nd) so no, I haven't listened to a
single album in full or even begun to scratch the surface of this treasure trove yet. I've picked a random sample of 10 songs,
two from each album, to provide a 40-minute selection. As before, but honestly more by luck than design, I think the selection works well as a complete listening experience, an Imaginary Compilation Album*, if you will.
Given my moan about download links yesterday, until I decide on a permanent replacement you can (hopefully) access today's selection either via Box or Mega.
In the meantime, the countdown clock's ticking to November 5th; when they're gone, they're gone. SAULT's message is godislove.

ReplyDeleteTried to post an 'excited' Gif but Blogger won't allow it so you will just have to use your imagination! 😃 Thanks for the heads up!👍 anwe
ReplyDeleteI can imagine! Loving what I've heard so far. Thanks, anwe
DeleteThanks for the tip-off
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ernie. Unlike that U2 album from a few years back, I think everyone does need a bit of SAULT in music collection.
DeleteVery excited about this. Just downloading them now. Thought the recent 10 minute song they put out was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYes, 10/Angel is brilliant, isn't it? I know it got a more mixed response when it came out earlier this year, but I also liked AIR a lot. AIIR is unsurprisingly more of the same but the other 4 albums all represent different elements of the SAULT sound. Together, it's hard to think of another band/collective with a similar breadth of sound, let alone volume of output!
DeleteDownloaded yesterday but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Agree with Mike, 10 was excellent.
ReplyDeleteI've listened to two-and-a-half so far (AIIR, Earth and half of Today & Tomorrow), plus a few airings of my Dubhed Selection in the car. All different, all great. And yes, to think that 10 was a non-album, standalone single as well. Stunning.
DeleteI realise I'm being extremely dense here, but what is the password? I've tried "in the message" and "Love SAULT X"... arrrghhh! I hate puzzles.
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Rol, I think my closing sentence was oblique - use godislove
DeleteNo, I just didn't read that far in my excitement to jump to the website and get free goodies. My bad!
DeleteAnd thank you...
DeleteGlad you got there, Rol!
