Another Sault review.

Do people still buy albums?

Yes, lots, and mainly on vinyl.

Well in that case Dark Side of the Moon, think I have bought at least 4 versions...

You think if they were going to make it number one Resident might have ordered in some more copies of the Sault album. They don't seem to ever have any copies and they're still showing as sold out

 

[CHAPPERS]

The Sault albums are amazing. I’ve been trying to get hard copies for weeks and have resorted to pre ordering from Bandcamp as their label aren’t able to get hard copies to shops for whatever reason. You could have had their two 2020 releases at 1 and 2.

It’s the Rough Trade top 100 I have posted though.

Quite right. Thanks and sorry, from 5:30-8 is looking after 10 month old at the moment

 

[Is it PotG?]

I’ve not heard of the band at number 1, Sault, but they seem as interesting and intriguing as they are prolific. I’ll have to check them out.

Anyone else heard them?

Been playing them a lot. Wildfires is a real earworm.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Sault is a perfect example of what I absolutely love about music. A brilliant discovery and I have 4 albums to listen to.

 

[BBassic]

Lament by Touche Amore is #1 for me.

 

[schmunk]

I've heard of 11 of them, and heard none, but these days my listening is almost entirely children's music and DULL podcasts.

 

[Albion Dan]

I've just given the Sault album a listen and have to say it's a Beaut.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Think I’m going to sign up to RT’s Record of the Month club. Good way of discovering new stuff.

I’ve also bought a bit of vinyl based on Resident’s recommendations, like Ben Chatwin. Would definitely recommend.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Yes, lots, and mainly on vinyl.

And on CD. Dylan and Young turned in over 100k CD sales in their weeks of release this year.

Edit: Back on topic, Jason Isbell and Reunions is on my Christmas list.

 

[Machiavelli]

Glad to see this thread is buzzing with activity. Albums -- and, inevitably, Live -- threads have been somewhat inactive of late, and those talented musicians out there need our attention more than ever at the moment.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I've just given the Sault album a listen and have to say it's a Beaut.

And what’s even better is that they’ve got another 3 albums!

 

[Hotchilidog]

No Folklore on that list...pah!

I do have the Phoebe Bridgers and Dream Wife records though and both are excellent

I've just listened to it too, and it's amazing
