7

"Both of Sault's albums (5 and 7) are fantastic, walking an idiosyncratic path that zig-zags between ESG-esque post-punk funk, early 80s boogie and something approaching neo-soul, without ever really fitting into any of those categories or sounding like straightforward homage. Whoever is on drums is clearly a big fan of Can's Jaki Liebezeit: their playing adds a strange, hypnotic intensity ... Sault seem as interested in writing songs as constructing grooves. Virtually every track is concise and to the point, rarely tipping over four minutes, and even the furthest-out moments - 7's Red Lights - come with really powerful hooks woven through them ... Whoever they are, Sault sound like they know what they're doing".

"These songs possess the backbone of a whale, shaking with carefree punk-funk attitude and deep soul rhythms ... Often when bands opt for a melting-pot approach, they run the risk of a clash of flavours that lack coherence and taste of nothing in particular. By stripping back and getting to the essential core of it all, 7 (and its predecessor) reveals something almost indistinguishable from its constituent parts and much, much more appetising. It seems that Sault adds flavour".
