'A Musical Hall Of Mirrors built with warped genius' 9/10 Guitarist Magazine
'Breathtaking verve, guts and temerity.... going from deep harmonic abstraction, to driving, algebraic, Beefheartian romps to joyous, triumphant crescendos. If you EVER have the chance to see them play…make sure you do. Otherwise start by buying this album.' On Heavy Rotation
�Sallow - A name originally crafted from the word of the day, have made an impression on fans and critics alike in Manchester. Originally from Kent, the band have been on the Manchester scene for several months and just released their debut single.
“They’re vocally guttural and strained but rarely scream. And what this all means is that they fulfill the paradoxical brief required to be accessibly inaccessible” - RGM MAGAZINE.
Swinging psych full of hard rock sensitivities with a strong British blues backbone. Sweet, raw vocals sore over tight angular structures and grooves decorated by solos of unconventional ferocity and elegance. Sallow are one of those bands where all four members have a strong sonic character that sits and works in unison. Rock-solid drum grooves complimented by elaborate but perfectly pocketed bass work over a flexible, multi-octave voice that soars and roars; one moment a choir, one moment a jet engine. All held together by unconventional, often chromatic and spiraling lead guitar.
Songs of hope and doom: one foot in the esteemed rock of the past, one foot forging ahead into strange futures.
