Salem: Whenusleep (MP3)

8:09 p.m. · December 10, 2008 · by Matthew Richardson

It's a little irritating to have to use the same picture of Salem everytime they do something post-worthy, but a friend just remarked to me that they're probably ghosts, so I should be glad there's pictures at all. Hearing the dense, overcast texture of "Whenusleep" is enough to bring the old familiar gloom rolling in, but if you pay attention to the lyrics you'll hear a surprising, voyeuristic, sleep-attack fantasy reveal itself over the track's two-minute span. If you're planning to have a night in with prescription drugs and bad memories anytime this winter, Salem's new Water EP is available now from Merok Records. [Bigstereo]
