salem – yes I smoke crack
SALEM is one of those bands that I cannot fucking wax poetic about enough. Possibly one of the most influential albums in my life right now, “Yes I Smoke Crack” is the perfect blend of experimental goodness with low-fi morbid synths and atmospheric or brutally gritty vocals. This album is so gritty that you can practically feel the dirt.
“As a teenager [John Holland] got into heavy drug use and prostitution; by his early twenties his friends Jack Donoghue and Heather Marlatt convinced him to make music instead. Two years ago they started the awesome band Salem, mixing styles that seemingly should never go together: Goth, Juke, Electronic and Hip-hop.” –BUTT Magazine with John Holland of Salem.
