The Teesside band blur the lines between genres on their new release, Heartbreaker
Teessiders Salsola blur the lines between genres on Heartbreaker. Warm with its sonics, the single oozes with a good-time summer vibe, featuring a luscious soul-inspired vocal performance that glides over a groove-driven indie pop instrumental, which is easily the strongest aspect of the track. The prominence of the vocals ties everything together and is what kept me returning for repeated listens.
Each instrument pops as it should, with my favourite moments being the relaxed momentum of the drums and the strong presence of guitar during the final stretch. It’s a fresh sound for the North East scene, brewing together multiple sonic avenues and resulting in a band that have comfortably found their sound. Check them out at The Green Room, Stockton on Friday 16th September.
