I thought there was a Salem thread?

noisereductions · 12.14.2010, 11:30 AM

anyway finally listened cuz of yalls hyping their shit. It's good. It's really good.

nicfit · 12.14.2010, 01:01 PM

told ya that the recorded output can be enjoyable, despite the lame lives.
Water EP and Frost EP are my favs, the album isn't bad either, but some tracks are a bit weak (redlights on the album is worse than on the ep imo).
banana and whiskey for everyone.

noisereductions · 12.14.2010, 02:35 PM

you didnt tell me shit. I never saw them live. I never heard a note of their music before yesterday.

nicfit · 12.14.2010, 02:48 PM

ah.
we ( hayden, eugenius + others) talked about them in the infamous "deerhunter thread".
Since you participated in that thread expressing your disgust for it I supposed you read the posts in it.
But looks like you didn't.

noisereductions · 12.14.2010, 02:53 PM

oh ahhaha

yeah I bounced in and out of that thread. I don't read half of it. I didnt really remember Salem being discussed in there. I don't remember. hah

Deerhunter Scat thread became the official Salem thread since Joe and I were far too lazy to start another one.

Tair is a fucking beast of a track. The remixes they do are fantastic too.

nicfit · 12.14.2010, 04:22 PM

yeah the mixtapes I heard are niiiice.

EVOLghost · 12.14.2010, 04:41 PM

the vocals are shit. hate 'em.

EVOLghost · 12.14.2010, 04:42 PM

but then again....I don't really listen to anything like it....so...yeh...

noisereductions · 12.14.2010, 06:01 PM

I just realized Salem does one of the best remixes on the Free Gucci mixtape. Been listening to it all year, had no idea they were on there.

SuperCreep · 12.14.2010, 06:34 PM

i like me some salem. at first i thought it was going to be massively overhyped crap that i'd forget about in a week (like sleigh bells or some shit), but some of it is pretty interesting. i think their "yes i smoke crack" EP is their best. love "redlights" on that one.

all that other "witch house" stuff i've heard is pretty awful, though, aside from one balam acab EP i'm forgetting the name of right now.

acousticrock87 · 12.14.2010, 07:13 PM

this is pretty sick. i haven't heard of "witch house." not much good stuff, though? too bad.

although, fever ray is a lot like this.

See Birds? I haven't heard anything else by Balam Acab but I certainly dig on that EP.

Yes, I Smoke Crack is probably the most solid release IMO but the album has some standout fucking tracks.

EVOLghost · 12.15.2010, 07:09 AM

this is that rapegaze group right?

I thought that genre was a joke.

Genteel Death · 12.28.2010, 08:37 AM

Well said.

cool deconstructive sid vicious way? are you a fucking retard. he couldnt play bass and did skag until he killed his girlfriend then died. thats stupider and more violent than anything salem have done. the only thing that is deconstructing is the notion that being a skagged up retard IS after all a good way to die a stupid and painful death after a stupid and painful life.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit of a dodgy comment, in that he could have picked up a better example. I never cared for Sid Vicious' brand of cool myself.
