It's so hard these days for a musical project to be completely clandestine. And yet, that's what we have with Sault. Who are they? No one knows for sure: "[N]o interviews, no photos, no videos, no live appearances, no Wikipedia entry, a perfunctory and entirely non-interactive social media presence," as The Guardian's Alexis Petridis puts it. We know that the artists are Black, but that's about it.
Sault have a new record out today, called Untitled (Rise), and while I dig into that, let's enjoy this cut from 2019's 5. The mystery only adds to the pleasure.
