Salute The Sun- All To You [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Dope sound. Has a real party vibe. Smooth vocal tone.”
Bristol four-piece Salute The Sun return with the almighty 'All To You'. Their first single in three years, the track is a groovy sun-soaked number, dripping in soulful melodies and vibrato synths. Just as the days start getting shorter and the weather turns colder, ‘All To You’ is a song defiant against the changing seasons. Singer and songwriter Rob Aros's soulful vocals are paired with bubbling basslines and warped synth patterns, giving the track a luminescent, discotheque vibe. “This track was an unexpected delight for us as a band. We’d been tinkering with the demo for over a year, and having just moved in to a house together we finally decided to just get it finished" guitarist Matt Townsend explains. "Rob knuckled down: creating an exhilarating chorus hook, tightening up the production and adding some funky guitar licks to help drive the verse. Suddenly we realised we had a banger on our hands. This was the most excited that writing a song had made us since the very first track we wrote together! We’ve been waiting for the right time to release this song and that time is now.” Formed in 2014, Rob, Matt, bassist Toby Williams and drummer Sam Williams met on their first day at the University of Bristol and bonded over their shared love for an array of genre-defying artists. Best known for their energetic live shows, Salute The Sun have an incredible talent for producing punchy anthems over flowing with heart and soul. Receiving early support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Salute The Sun draw on the soulful grooves of Toro y Moi and funk tones of Earth, Wind & Fire to form their own musical trajectory.
