Salt’s latest single, “Roly Moes,” emerges from the depths of musical obscurity, casting a spell of eerie allure that beckons listeners into a realm of haunting melodies and foreboding rhythms. After a hiatus from the spotlight, the band returns with a track that not only marks their reemergence but also serves as a testament to their artistic evolution. At its core, “Roly Moes” is a sonic journey through the shadowy corridors of the human psyche, guided by an enigmatic narrative that unfolds like a dark tale whispered in the dead of night. The song’s ethereal beauty is juxtaposed against its unsettling undertones, creating a sense of disquiet that lingers long after the final notes fade away.
With Sharon and Robin Woods at the helm, supported by Simon Kettles and James King, Salt draws inspiration from the annals of post-punk history, channeling the spirits of musical luminaries like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nick Cave, and the Pixies. Yet, amidst these influences, “Roly Moes” carves out a space uniquely its own—a sonic landscape where darkness and beauty intertwine in a delicate dance of contradiction.
