Salt Ashes – Little Dove

The dark pop of “Little Dove” is the b-side to Brighton UK singer Salt Ashes debut single “Somebody”. Containing enough trendy references (deep in the tank slowed down vocals, minor-toned ethereal croons, etc) to keep it relevant/pique the ears of the indie zeitgest, “Little Dove” blends those cool elements with strong writing, keen arrangement and a unique sense of atmosphere (the marriage of disparate moods/modes (from poppy guitars to the most languid R&B tones) on the track is next level)). Very very good. “Sometimes” is out February 17th on Night Beach Records.
