It’s foggy and a little cold in San Francisco today, so this new Salt Cathedral song “Holy Soul” is just what I needed. It’s lush, gorgeously textured, and brightly colored. It’s built around a twitching, understated rhythm and swooning synths to accompany Juli Ronderos as she sings in a characteristically weightless croon, “I am a holy soul in a foreign land.” It won’t dispel the fog, but it does infuse it with mystery and romance.
If you haven’t pre-ordered their new album OOM VELT you’re doing yourself a disservice.
