Redlights · Salem


Frost - Salem (2009)
Now for some more rumbling bass. This time from the noise-y bass drones and synth sludge of Salem. For a couple of minutes in 08/09 Salem were the most exciting new group on the planet. Frost is still infectious with its occult drones, delirious trap beats, insane low end and windy ghost vocals.


Redlights - Salem (2008/2010) 
Even if the hipster faux sordid degeneracy image of the group was way too retarded for you it was impossible to deny a pop tune like Redlights. When I say pop tune, I mean a droning hypnagogic haze of a goth-shoegaze-trap anthem. All of the hypnotic ethereal incantations, grinding bass waves and maximum haunted synth sludge. 


King Night (2010)
Drum machine rattling trap beats, a distorted haunted choir in a cyclonic squall, dense layers of menacing sombre synths and blasts of blurry in the red bass. King Night is an audacious apocalyptic cathedral of woozy sound.
