Salos, by Merope

Salos

by Merope

supported by

Michael Hix This is one of my favorite releases of 2021. Unclassifiable treasures consisting of beautiful stringed instruments, synths and sublime vocalizations. One of those rare discoveries that come along - ancient and otherworldly sounding. Favorite track: Sakale.
