SALEM - King Night
Reviewed by yewknee
I heard one of these tracks from on a mix and was entirely intrigued. Sonically, it's somewhat similar to the Sleigh Bells record in that it is incredibly loud, extremely blown out and a complete assault on the ears. However, instead of gang vocals and punk undertones, Salem goes for gloomy keyboards, atmospheric moods and crushing beats. It works, but only in doses. If you ever drop acid and want to be scared shitless, this seems like your Number One candidate for soundtrack. [www.myspace.com]
