Salem Returning With New Music This Year

Witch house poster children Salem have been on a long hiatus. Their last record was 2011’s I’m Still in the Night EP. In a recent post on his Instagram, photographer Wolfgang Tillmans revealed that Salem are getting ready to release new music. Tillmans—who just released a new EP 2016 / 1986—says Salem have remixed his song “Make It Up As You Go Along.” The remix will appear on his Device Control EP, which is out September 16 via Fragile. He also revealed that they’ve been working on a new album. Read his note describing his collaborations with Salem and listen to Tillmans’ original version of “Make It Up As You Go Along” below.

SALEM’s John Holland and Jack Donoghue just sent through ‘Make It Up As You Go Along (SALEM Remix)’ The first piece of music they release in over five years. – They did the remix in Montegut, Louisiana this month, where they lived for the last year and where I took this photograph in May when visiting them. As expected the mix is super dense, highly abstracted from the original, and has an irresistible magic and pull. John and Jack were working on a new album there, and are completing it in Los Angeles, where they live now. Salem are back. Full Louisiana pictures when album comes out. Label tbc. – ‘Make It Up As You Go Along (SALEM Remix)’ will be on Wolfgang Tillmans ‘Device Control EP’ together with more tracks and remixes tbc soon. Release date September 16. Fragile003 distributed through www.wordandsound.net The original mix is on Spotify, Traxsource, Beatport, iTunes, and others as well as 12” vinyl out now. Video is on Youtube and Vimeo. #salem #jackdonoghue #johnholland #fragile #makeitupasyougoalong #wordandsound #wolfgangtillmans #devicecontrol
