Salome

The debut full-length from the Los Angeles post-rock trio, featuring Emma Ruth Rundle (of Red Sparowes) on lead vocals and guitar. The record beautifully balances immense walls of sludge-influenced distortion with soaring, ethereal vocal melodies and tight, propulsive rhythms. It cemented the band's ability to fuse crushing atmospheric weight with remarkably accessible, gothic-tinged alternative rock hooks.
