Bad Suns Stream “Salt”

I’m pretty sure I’m the only pop-loving mope on the planet that just can’t get into The 1975 no matter how many times I’ve tried. I mean, I love sex, chocolate, and girls but when they’re put into song-form by The 1975, they just don’t work for me.

When I first heard Bad Suns, I couldn’t help but feel that they were the American equivalent of the Manchester quartet that has everyone raving, but upon repeat listens, they did in fact work for me. That’s not to say that I have anything against England’s musical exports — entirely on the contrary. However, something about the anthemic “Cardiac Arrest” just resonated with me, and as the band is yet to release as much as even an EP, we’ve had very little to follow up with…until now.

Over at Red Bull, Bad Suns are streaming a brand new song that comes off their forthcoming debut EP, Transpose, that drops via Vagrant on January 21. “Salt” may not be as outright memorable or dance-inducing as the aforementioned hit, but it’s growing on me and certainly assures us that they aren’t just some knock-off riding the indie-rock wave. Stream the new track after the break. Fan of The 1975 or not, you’ll enjoy it.
