Description

Salem, the Traverse City/Chicago-based trio of John Holland, Heather Mariatt and Jack Donoghue are finally releasing their debut album King Night. Mixed by Dave Sardy, the albums 11 tracks evoke certain elements of ethereal shoegaze, withdrawn Houston Screw, and production qualities akin to the frenetic delivery of contemporary Southern rap and Chicago footwok.

Echoing the duality of the bands urban and rural surroundings, King Night is at once menacing and serene. Projecting the dissonance of these themes with a scope that blurs many genres, Salem have created a zeitgeist capturing album with some of the most beautifully visceral music of our time.
