Salem | Better Off Alone

On paper, Salem’s recent cover of Alice Deejay’s classic trance anthem Better Off Alone sounds as ill-thought out as Lou Reed & Metallica’s recent collab album. However, the Chicago based Witch-House trio pulls it off impeccably. The vocals are screwed down as to make them nearly unrecognizable, and the backing track is full to bursting with haunting layered synths and splashy drums to achieve the group’s trademark wall of sound. This track, which is best appreciated joint in hand and on the biggest speakers you can find,  is off of their recent ep Still In The Night , which, although not up to the ridiculously high standard of last year’s King Night, is still well worth checking out.
