321 : Salem
We enjoy wallowing in doom and depravity as much as the next blog. That’s why Salem is the band for us. They sound medicated, filthy, and take the dosed up sound of Texan rap far too literally. Chopped and screwed? This band will cut you up and fuck the leftovers. After the jump Heather and John talk to us about aquariums, goats and Karen Carpenter.

Heather: “John’s favourite animals are fish and goats. Mine are dogs and horses.”
John: “One day I will go to the Bermuda Triangle, One day I will go to Egypt, I don’t like a lot of things”
H: “I like the song Ephraim by Thrones because it is like a execution march. Also, anything John’s mom plays on the harp.”
J: “Superstar by Karen Carpenter because its so sad and pretty and Karen Carpenter is really cool. Arabesque by Claude Debussy because its the most beautiful song ever written. I would tell you why but I can’t.”
