5

"This troop showed up anonymously and without notice in February 2019. First was "We Are the Sun," a sugared and easy-rocking declaration of pride and resolve from what sounded like a small instrumental combo and a multi-gender group of vocalists warming up at first light. They returned four weeks later with "Don't Waste My Time," suggesting they were buzzed on an eruptive mix of funk-loving post-punk bands such as Rip Rig + Panic and Maximum Joy, '70s Nigerian rock nuggets, and much indignation ... The two songs (...) barely indicated the stylistic breadth Sault show on 5 ... Lively group vocals (...) common to Inflo productions are widespread, as much of a treat as the crack rhythm section's facility in recontextualizing gritty and smooth soul, Afro-beat, Krautrock, and post-disco boogie ... Released on the independent label Forever Living Originals, presumably an Inflo undertaking, 5 comes off like the result of one supercharged marathon session unburdened by commercial pressure".

"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 to tracks even as laidback and sunlit sounding as 5's "We Are the Sun" ... Whoever they are, Sault sound like they know what they're doing".
