I always thought they kind of did their own thing and were kind of a follow up to Crystal Castles except hip hop. Ppl say they helped pioneer trap but I dont buy it, I think they were unique and innovative but not as influential as ppl say.
Been jamming this album since its release, and i still come back. This band is the reason I even started producing, and OoOOo. 11/10 production, and use of vox. Cant understand how they never got bigger... Love you S413m
Never imagined I would ever find an album that would be the equivalent to my personal Apex in all of music. Dependent on so damn much of it, 100% of the time. And then one night I stumbled upon this and wept uncontrollably because even before I became so immersed in it; I knew upon hearing the first few tracks that this was it. The raw epitome of everything I've ever wanted to hear. And you can't deny that shit one bit. You feel it. Thank you SALEM
Little overboard, I mean it's good but this album was a fluke. The people that made this were legitimate morons and there's no reason it should have come out this good.
They sure did something incredible with the dark and depressive yet catchy and genre bending sound here. Not many underground albums can make quite the splash and be as unique as this. I don't even blame them for being gone for so long considering this album hits like no other.
So I was a big purity ring and grimes fan before I came here, but I can hear the roots of their sounds coming from this, purity ring more so that grimes. But I really liked this album. Had I not been 11 when it came out I probably would have appreciated it in its time.
эх моя молодость, те года когда я был на дне но был счастлив каждому моменту. сейчас вроде бы и живу лучше, но не чувствую что живу. мёртв внутри но не снаружи.
Proof fantano doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Man gave this a 2, yet I guarantee the money store wouldn’t sound the way it does if it wasn’t for these guys
This is great, has a perfectly realised and very unique futuristic yet sacral atmosphere. Gives me mental imagery of elaborate rituals and religious festivals belonging to some future religion that does not yet exist, being performed on a planet in the other end of the galaxy 10,000 years from now.
i think the first time i heard this was in one of the happy medium skate vids and fuck was i blown away witch house was really on some other shit and i dont think ive heard a genre that made me go "oh shit wow what the fuck is this" like it since classic album
Do anyone know if there are some new stuff from Salem? They were my entrance to this Genre whitch house so many years ago. My friends and me listen to this LP so many times
Jack Donaghue has gone on to produce for hip-hop artists including Kanye West. I do hope they put out more SALEM material though. Definitely one of the best bands I've ever heard.
A few years later after their release i was at a big snobby art event / gallery opening and Salem was there like a secret guest, they just played their tracks off the youtube. promoter really goated on that one
