- The dark and slow electro-pop trio will release their debut album this fall.
Michigan and Chicago-based trio Salem are set to release their debut album this fall, entitled King Night.
Over the past two years, Salem have spearheaded a brand of slow and sinister electro-pop that has earned genre tags like "drag," "witch-house" and "haunted house." Though the overall vibe smacks of moody electronic artists like Fever Ray or Burial, the production style is primarily influenced by screwed and chopped hip-hop, a trippy, ultra pitched-down subgenre emanating from the rap scene in Houston, Texas. Salem has put out four seven-inches so far, including titles like Frost & Legend and Yes, I Smoke Crack. King Night will mark their debut on IAMSOUND Records, an independent label based in Los Angeles.
