Was there ever a point when people thought Salem was going to all be about the live show? (That said, that video is godawful and I wish I could unsee it, because the awesome creep factor of those songs just got halved).

this album is pretty cool. the new salem album. it's weird. the c&s vocals work really well. like the horror movie vibe. so sick of getting edbanger-esque crapola in the mail and i feared this was more of the same. you would think that any group that mixes goth eurorave with dirty south beats would be making a bloody mess, but these dudes make it work somehow. there is still SOME justice-ness in here, but not enough to bug me. (in the red treble sickness being my least favorite modern dance music development)

I'll probably listen to the LP, but there's no way that at least half of this band's steez isn't the sort of self-mockery you as part of the audience is supposed to be in on. I mean, really, this quote comes from one of the Fader Fort videos:

i would totally be okay with this being the future of goth. it should be, actually. cuz its modern/dark/cool in a way that a lot of more, um, vnv nation kinda things aren't. (though to be honest i haven't listened to any recent darkwave/ebm stuff in a long time, so excuse me if it all good in that arena. i LIKE that Metropolis sorta thing.)

HOW TO: One Surprising Way to Record and Release a Salem Jam of Your Own
(1) Listen to a lot of The Knife circa Silent Shout as well as that Fever Ray LP(2) Ramble into a microphone about whatever, preferably something less-than-coherent(3) Pitch shift the vocal down a couple of octaves(4) Set your keyboard to something spooky(5) Play random notes in the minor scale of your choice at a relatively slow tempo(6) Insert arbitrary beats you cook up in Ableton in 5 seconds(7) Send your .mp3 to some blogs(8) Be invited to and subsequently appear at a super hyped show and revel in the fact that you're basically taking the piss

pretty guy + random beats and vocals equals success. i got no problem with that.

this is much better than the major lazer ep i got in the mail too. but i was scared of that before i even played it when i saw the words "thom yorke remix" on the cd.

Didn't Salem do an official remix for Thom Yorke?

wish people would stop calling this goth. this kind of music has none of the earnest melodrama or campness of goth, it's all just too-cool-for-school barely can be bothered post-ironic posturing. not that this is a bad thing, just completely removed from what being goth is about imo

okay i really want people to tell me how they feel when they hear the new salem mix. why? i don't know. i'd just be interested. and i want someone to tell me if its the salem guy rappin' at the beginning of it. i think it is. it stands out cuz the rest of it is just stoner fare. er, non-rap stoner division. except for the chopped & screwed vocals i guess. that's appropriated from stoner rap. the ambient moments are pretty good. i would listen to more stuff like that. i guess what i'm trying to say is that there are some things that they do that i like. i don't like a lot of indie low-rent beat stuff. someone has to have a really nice bedroom for me to want to sit in it for very long. i dunno, i'm also kinda stoned, so my opinion shouldn't mean that much. i can imagine that it would all sound kinda hokey if all you listened to was avant garde post-apocalyptic dubstep all day long or something. there are probably all kinds of innovations in u.k. cyber-boogie since last week.

i got an email with it attached, but i figured people here heard things quickly cuz they have their fingers on the pulse of the witch house. it's called *I Buried My Heart Inna Wounded Knee*. no, really, it is.

After being blown away the first time I put on the album, and then underwhelmed the next time, I figure I'm not that fussed about hearing it again. The idea of listening to Salem is more exciting than the actual act of listening to Salem.

Also, one song in, the new Gate album reminds me favorably of Salem, The Knife, et al, right down to the pitchshifted vocals. Morley's always been ahead of the curve and these days I prefer Gate to The Dead C.

I love the Bury mix. It's probably my favorite of their mixes, followed by the "we make it good" one. I love how quiet and slow it is compared to the other ones they've done. And finally there's a Black Metal jam in the mix.
The first song is a drag mix of Crime Mob's KNUCK IF YOU BUCK.
I've already pre-ordered their KING NIGHT album, and can't get enough of the first two singles.
