Rating: We are looking at an album that is practically unknown: but as you know, very often the world of music hides pop pearls just like "We Meet In The Future", which is astonishing for its simplicity and essentiality that at the same time coexists with a great compositional ability.
The English quintet is inspired by a very 70s sound (it strongly resembles the Velvet Underground or Slowdive) but also adds new electronic elements without exaggerating, resulting in a very effective and direct outcome strangely ignored by the public.
Amanda Gomez's voice is very sweet and gentle, stunning, it almost makes you fall in love: for a long time, such a voice has not been heard in such a well-assembled group. The voice sharpens the languid, slow, and lulling path on which Saloon makes us travel: from "Absence" to "Kaspian" (in my opinion the two best tracks on the album) to "Que Quieres", all pieces are beautiful and equally appreciable; this is also why I am surprised that this album has been completely ignored by critics.
In my opinion, "Saloon" deserves much more because, even without creating new genres and not going beyond what has already been done, they manage to perfectly master the pop sounds that impact the composition of a great album just like this one.
