Sal the Musician has released his fourth single ‘Drown’. Sal released three singles in 2019 to great avail, with the tracks getting plenty of radio play and press buzz. He also spent the latter half of 2019 playing a number of support shows for touring artists including Australian alt-rock legends You Am I.
‘Drown’ shakes up Sal the Musician’s emotive songwriting as he displays helpless and confused emotions through rich crashing and striking musicianship. Lacing his honest lyrics in warm and dramatic brass elements Sal builds the track superbly into an explosive, tense crescendo. With a sweet isolating melody, punchy beat and striking chords on guitar, Sal attempts to create the clenching, suffocating and painful effect of observing a loved one going through an anxiety attack and feeling helpless in the face of it. The blazing turmoil created between the guitars and rhythm is masterful and echos the pain within the lyrics as Sal creates another gripping, hard hitting track. Sal is going on tour as support for “KUDOS” in February in support of the single. He will be playing shows in Cork, Limerick and Waterford .
Sal the Musician has released his new single ‘Fine’. His debut track ‘Low’ was released in March to much attention from a number of media outlets in Ireland and has received airplay on radio stations like RTE2FM and Galway Bay FM amongst others.
‘Fine’ is another passionate slice of Sal the Musician’s compelling and richly diverse musicianship. With his unique blend of indie rock, electronic and pop this track lies comfortably in the ears. Twinkling keys portray a sweet glimpse of innocence. Sal builds the track progressively creating tension and curdling turmoil up to the expressive chorus. The drums build becoming more punchy as the lamenting guitar pines behind flickering electronics to create a wholly invigorating listening experience as Sal the Musician fleshes out his pure and emotive sound.
Singer songwriter Sal the Musician has released his debut single ‘Low’ which was written by Sal the Musician and documents his struggle with depression and being suicidal.
This captivating track blends rock, pop and electronic music seamlessly to create a wholly intriguing and satisfying listen. With a catchy chorus and slinky melody floating through twinkling electronics and a steady throbbing beat its a darkly smothered luring number. Sal’s vocals are smooth and sweet as he emotionally coos the moving lyrics while the churning electronics meander between innocent flickers and shadowy thuds. The track builds sublimely to an elegant string fluttering crescendo. Sal floods this track with passion and emotion through both his lyrics and instrumentation. An enticing and fascinating debut from Sal the Musician.
