SALT
There is something very special about Salt. The band are like an undiscovered classic post-punk band from back in the post-punk wars like those Japanese soldiers who guarded isolated islands in world war two and were still there decades later before being discovered. This is no bad thing if you are good as Salt who take the whiff of the Banshees and go on to explore their own vision. They are machine tight and deliver songs full of a macabre imagination and emotional discord with their charismatic front-woman dressed in full tartan commanding the stage with a theatrical soul power. John Robb - Louder Than War

During the second lockdown SALT were approached by Animal Farm Music to release a series of three songs digitally. We recorded the songs and they mixed and produced them. After Cellophane HX Records wanted to do a follow up. So we embarked on "Fairytale in Fire". This album has been more purposeful and has our best songs. We still record ourselves, Robin has progressed his recording technique. Endless youTube videos have helped here. Doing everything ourselves means the recording process is as much a creative process as the song writing.
HX Records suggested getting a famous "name" session musician involved in a couple of songs. SALT were introduced to Sal Bernardi who played harp on the songs Cold White Hands and Dust.
HX Records have recently released a double album called "Une Rue Vers l'arrire", aimed at the french market. It is a compilation of both albums.
