Resident Advisor
“King Night stands alone, both from its apparent contemporaries as well as from the band itself… the kind of solid and complete creation that lesser (or just unluckier) bands spend entire careers striving towards.”
Contact Music
“the audible equivalent to an out of body experience”
Dazed & Confused Magazine
“The album is epic…it’s a glimpse into a parallel universe.”
All Music
“Salem’s ability to be affecting and menacing at the same time is pure alchemy”
Sentimentalist Magazine
“A rare type of genius rises from the unholy abyss that is King Night, a rare genius because it is capable of being accessed by the masses, which is one of the hardest dichotomies to achieve in the arts, and it also separates the pseudo-avant-garde from the authentic visionary.”
Loud & Quiet Magazine
“It’s a terrifying and astounding album – don’t listen to it alone”
Vice Magazine
“King Night is the full-length realisation of their My Bloody Valentine-meets-DJ Screw aesthetics…the most beautiful bad trip since Suicide’s ‘Cheree’”.
NME
“Outstandingly good…it rewards constant and obsessive replaying…this is monumental.”
Playground Magazine
“an exciting, rejuvenating experience that is worth listening to with the volume sickeningly loud, if possible with headphones and outside, at night, with the first chill of autumn in the air.”
Pitchfork
“King Night is huge in the most mind-blowing sense possible”
Stereogum
“one of the best albums of the year”
Prefix
“There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how huge the title track from Salem’s upcoming album King Night is.”
