Brooklyn-based salamander share a glimpse of their forthcoming debut LP [container], with hypnotic new pop production “xylem,” which balances an existential reflection with a layered soundscape built on delicate, ringing melodies and pensive vocal lines.
Moody yet meditative, the track features expansive guitars and spacious drums with rumbling basslines and echoing beats to make for a big, all-encompassing sonic experience that roots itself in accepting the inevitable end of life and facing the fear of it.
Managing to make something ethereal and uplifting out of a dark, fruitless subject matter, the track is infused with a sense of peace and power that wraps around us a lush yet angular touch.
The track is accompanied by a visualize created by Linnea Nugent to compliment the poignant lyrical themes and make for a reflective sonic experience.
Having begun as an experimental pop show between songwriters PJ Hunter and Leo Frampton in 2019, before the addition of drummer Ben Verde in 2021, salamander has flourished with fluid and collaborative artistry that allures anyone who tunes in.
