SALT unveils darkly enthralling tales with its single, “Roly Moes”
The haunting narrative of SALT’s latest single, “Roly Moes,” is woven into the fabric of a classic rock masterpiece, dripping with unfiltered intensity and emotional depth. This British band, led by the enigmatic Sharon Woods, Robin Woods, a producer, along with Simon Kettles, a bass player, and James King, delivers a captivating symphony that evokes a sense of melancholy and grips the soul with a magnetic musical pull. Notably, Sharon and Robin are married, while Robin and Simon are members of a Ramones tribute band.
“Roly Moes” unfolds as a gloomy and introspective tale from an obscure corner of the world. It portrays a father’s desperate quest for his lost daughter, which takes a tragic turn, leading him down a path of hopelessness and disillusionment. The lyrics poignantly depict anguish and a moral dilemma as the protagonist is set against the backdrop of a strip bar, portraying the epitome of every parent’s worst nightmare.
Sharon’s vocals, reminiscent of the greats like Siouxsie and the Banshees, imbue the song with a virtual magic that lingers in the mind long after the final chord has faded. Robin’s masterful guitar work and Simon’s pulsating basslines create soaring instrumentation that is mesmerizing and foreboding, enticing listeners more deeply into the narrative with each beat and riff.
“Roly Moes” represents SALT’s ability to marry evocative storytelling with infectious melodies, creating a refreshingly unique sound. With influences ranging from Nick Cave to the Pixies, the band effortlessly fuses elements of darkness and melody, fusing a sonic experience that is as captivating as it is compelling.
Produced and recorded in Edinburgh, “Roly Moes” is a testament to the band’s artistic vision, unrivaled talent, and limitless creativity. As the first taste of what promises to be an exhilarating third album, this single serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the future of SALT’s musical journey.
“Roly Moes” is a captivating masterpiece that demands to be heard. With its enchantment and thought-provoking lyricism, this song is a shining example of the power of music to transport listeners to another realm. With each new release, the band proves to be a force to be reckoned with, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. Keep your ears peeled for this phenomenon; they are poised to leave an indelible mark on the music industry.

“Keep T Moving” shows Meas & Riddie’s fresh approach to house music
Meas & Riddie release their debut, “Keep T Moving,” a fusion of youthful vigor and classic electronic character. Meas & Riddie produced the track, and these two young artists have already built a clear connection with House music while still leaving room to experiment and make music on their own terms.
“Keep T Moving” is a powerful electronic and house record that speaks to the duo’s love of fusing old-school 909 sounds with more modern synths. This distinction gives the track its main artistic direction, fusing a familiar electronic base with a modern edge. Meas & Riddie see those influences as part of the sound they are beginning to make their own.
As their first independent Spotify release, “Keep T Moving” also captures the thrill of a beginning, of two young musicians stepping into the scene without putting unnecessary limits on where their sound can go. 17-year-old Riddie and 15-year-old Meas share an uncommon sense of youthful dedication on their debut release. Their age is part of the story, but more interesting is their willingness to explore on their own terms. “Keep T Moving” definitely sets the direction, but leaves plenty of room for Meas & Riddie to build on their sound with future releases.

Max Ceddo captures one-sided communication on latest release “So You Say”
Max Ceddo takes a frustrating one-sided conversation and makes it the centerpiece of “So You Say,” a song built around communication that never seems to go anywhere. It’s a relatable portrait of the frustration of constantly trying to engage another person in conversation, only to be met with little reciprocation.
The lyrics make that imbalance clear from the beginning, “All you seem ever to say is So you say.” Every time someone calls to talk to me, the narrator says, the other person listens and says nothing, and the narrator wonders why they even called. Even the greeting seems to be limited: “all you ever say is hi at the beginning.” The repetition signals a relationship caught in a frustrating pattern.
What gives “So You Say” its character is how directly it complains. There is no need to dress up the problem, one person wants communication, while the other seems unable or unwilling to give it. “You cant speak cause all you ever say is so you say” brings the idea back around, so the repetition is part of the message itself. Max Ceddo captures the weariness of talking when no one talks back.
