One of the most promising indications of this new sound’s potential” – Pitchfork
"See Birds", a track that ought to appear on Balam Acab's forthcoming debut EP for Tri Angle, is staggering and woozy, with a buzzing bassline riding a sludgy, syrup-guzzling beat that sounds like Massive Attack foreshadowing a Jason Voorhees kill scene. Blaring tones increase and decrease in volume like passing planes between a ominous synth sample that feels like some kind of futuristic warning tone. And above it all, a high-pitched disembodied female vocal forms a spectral melody, calling out to the low-pitched male moan that serves as its shadowy counterpart. It's one of the most promising indications of this new sound's potential: a memento mori in song.“ – Ryan Schreiber: Editor of Pitchfork
“For all we know, this band could have been lurking around in the depths of dub’s inner circle—the secret influencers of dubstep as an entire genre. But they’re newer than that, so “See Birds” works as a summation of what’s going on right now: Salem melding goth with everything, mysterious white guys hiding in their rooms and creating ominous club music surrounded by stale weedsmoke and a million moldy records we’ve never heard.”[ko txt from ]
