Speaking on the single, the band says “collaboration was central to the creation of this album, and Akiko was the first artist we reached out to. We've been long-time fans of her vocals, sound design, and production, and working together has been something we've wanted to do for a long time, so we're thrilled it finally came to life. We had this sparse and haunting track that felt like the perfect canvas for Akiko. From the moment we heard her initial ideas, we knew we had something special and couldn’t wait to share it.”
The track follows the release of "Broken Entry", as well as their signing to Black Acre (home to Commodo, Sully, Karen Nyame KG, Waldo's Gift, Crimewave, and more).
Speaking on the themes behind the single, Haruna says “Salt is a reflection on the cycles a person can get trapped in when shame becomes both a punishment and a release. When guilt weighs heavy, they may chase comfort in familiar patterns: seeking control through self-destruction, intensity over numbness, and recognition at any cost. This track came from piecing together quiet warnings, learning to trust intuition and witnessing what might happen when someone confuses feeling seen with being exposed.”
“Endlessly truly feels like our first real album,” concludes the band of the forthcoming release. “Unlike our debut, which was made in isolation during Covid lockdowns, with this record we set out to embrace collaboration and bring people together. As a result, this record is shaped by many minds, working collectively to find cohesion between the diverse art and music that inspires us. It’s our most expansive, dynamic, and fully realised body of work to date, and one we’re incredibly proud of.”
