Portland, Oregon resident Mary Sutton – aka Saloli – is going to release her debut solo record, The Deep End, on October 26th via Kranky.
Listen below to Saloli’s brand new track “Revolver“.
The concept materialised in the wake of a performance she gave at a clothing-optional soaking-pool sauna: “I had never composed for synth before but wanted to make something people sitting motionless and naked in hot bubbly water would want to hear.” It was while in this headspace that she reconnected with Satie’s entrancing cyclical motifs, particularly the way “he subtly spins melodic fragments, and pivots harmonies and phrases so the repetitions feel new and surprising yet soothingly familiar, as if casting a spell.”
