Cassette Kids Uprising Reviews

An amazing album. Both timely and timeless. Love the voices, the sentiment and the way this weaves so many styles together. If I had to choose, the electronic sounds are my favourites here; the gospel-tinged tracks my least favourite, but it all hangs together and flows beautifully. A powerful statement for the ages, and one you can sway to, too.

I lose track of all the SAULT albums, they're that prolific. But I remember how Black Is dropped at just the right time in 2020. It could already sound a little dated, but sadly the issues are still there. The DIY beats add an urgency. The vocals are lush. It drifts a little towards the end. An important document of 2020 though.
