Release Date: Out Now
Remember Salad? You know, from
the 90s and from Britpop and all that? I had a Salad carrier bag for a while
from their ‘Ice Cream’ album, that was pretty neat. Anyway, Paul and Marijne
from the band are back with a little stripped down single under the guise of
Salad Undressed and said single, ‘Being Human’, is a lot of fun. Marijne’s
breathy vocal is edgy and somewhat, well, not of this world with a sense of the
dramatic. The guitars have a wild-west meets Britpop vibe as the rhythmic chug
is quietly relentless and keeps things moving regardless of your will. “Being
human, what a stroke of luck, must try harder to catch up” they sing with that
whispered sense of cinematic drama that Salad and Pulp pioneered so
delightfully all through the 1990s. Good to have them back, then, and on tour
with some of their peers too. What a time to be alive?!
