SAULT - "Bitter Streets"


Enigmatic British band SAULT just released their latest record NINE this week and it will only be available, in any format, for 99 days. It's a strange, haunting record that shapeshifts from afrobeat, R&B, jazz, krautrock, rap, pop, and beyond. The album is heartbreaking in its tales of the black experience. Even when the music is light and settling on "Bitter Streets," with its laid-back drums, playful bass, and sweeping strings, the lyrics are fully grounded in reality, such as "I remember when we were young/You made friends with a gun."
