About

Of the November 2022 Sault releases, Today & Tomorrow is the biggest departure from the group’s previous records. It’s seemingly based around studio jams, with vocals added afterwards. The guitar, bass, and drums land somewhere between tense post-punk and dirty funk. It’s fun to hear Sault play gritty and organic music, but it often feels underwritten.

Today & Tomorrow is exhilarating when it works. The opening track ‘In The Beginning’ is an excellent addition to the Sault catalogue – its dramatic introduction is full of tension. The full and fuzzy guitar tone is effective – ‘Heal the World’ is little more than a chant over a guitar riff, but it’s energising and vibrant. The riff of ‘Jungle’ recalls Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’.

Today & Tomorrow is underwritten, but it’s fun to hear Sault cranking up the guitars to 11. — (via Aphoristic Album Reviews)
