Bristol post-punk specialists Saloon Dion share frenetic new effort ‘I Don’t Feel’ out today January 25th via Mucker Records.
Marking the first reveal from their forthcoming debut EP arriving later this year, ‘I Don’t Feel’ incorporates the band’s groove-laden beats and bass riffs, often compared to the Happy Mondays, Beastie Boys and Gang of Four, and follows a flurry of early releases on tastemaker labels Nice Swan Records and Permanent Creeps.
With widespread early praise from key indie press champions (The Fader, Brooklyn Vegan, Clash, Dork, NME, So Young, Rough Trade, The New Cue, CRACK), in addition to regular spins on the BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders), BBC 6 Music (Lauren Laverne, Simone Butler) and Radio X airwaves (John Kennedy), the exhilarating live outfit will be supporting Pip Blom on their UK tour next month, preceding their first trip stateside for SXSW in March (one of the first 26 British acts to be announced).
Discussing their upcoming release, the Bristol natives explained. “'I Don't Feel' is a song about being reluctant to seek help from others. What it isn't, is a song about having no feeling, but more of choosing what to feel and when to feel it. It speaks of the barriers we all put up to protect ourselves, no matter the damage they may do in the long run”.
A handshake is the first impression that we make with most people, and Saloon Dion are experts in the area. Their accompanying music video, created by Clump Collective, shows the band grasping their personal greeting issues with both hands (or should it just be one?), taking part in a handshake class. A masterclass in human interaction, this band demonstrates a firm grip on social commentary with a video that will have you coming back repeatedly for your lesson in social etiquette.
Saloon Dion’s ‘I Don’t Feel’ is out now via Mucker Records and will be available on all digital platforms here.
