Big Boy: Balam Acab.
August 18th, 2010Tri-Angle Record’s very own Balam Acab brought out his and his label’s debut EP a couple of days ago. He has let loose second track ‘Regret Making Mistakes’ for free download, mixing choral vocals and heavy bass in a way similar to, yet more chilled out than, SALEM’s ‘King Night’. It is pretty damn good. [...]
Kings: SALEM’s King Night.
July 28th, 2010One track that came to my attention during my near 2 month-long blogging hiatus that I simply have to write about despite the huge amount of cover it has already received is SALEM’s ‘King Night’. The title track of the album, the group released it to begin the promotion journey towards the release date of [...]
Wot A Drag: White Ring & Balam Acab.
May 3rd, 2010Wot do you call it? Scene originators SALEM, spooky-pop mastermind oOoOO and fellow 7″ inhabiter White Ring, as well as newcomers Balam Acab make similar bass-heavy, occult-imagery-loving, emotion-filled music. Like all movements in music, it needs to be named so it can be easily and quickly described by journalists and fans alike. According to this [...]
Better Off: RAVER STAY WIF ME Mix by SALEM.
April 24th, 2010If you are a regular reader of Pipedown then you will know that recently I’ve been lovin’ on the bass-heavy, kinda spooky music being produced by the likes of SALEM, oOoOO and White Ring (more to come on the last one). I was, therefore, very excited when I caught wind of a new mix by [...]
Red Light: SALEM.
April 11th, 2010SALEM are a trio from the midwest of America, currently based out of Michigan. Part of the same growing scene as oOoOO (check our post on them here), they make similarly distorted, eerie music, apparently reflecting a sort of loneliness best expressed in heavy, heavy synths and effect-covered vocals. SALEM have been around for a [...]
No Summertime: oOoOO.
March 27th, 2010Hailing from San Francisco, oOoOO, a band more regularly accused of being un-Googleable than any other (has no-one thought of searching ‘oOoOO band’?), have been movin’ on up recently. They make dark, slow music that I would even go so far as to call ‘spooky’. Their name was apparently inspired by some recognition of this, [...]
