Do a little Sault-searching

In a world where artists jostle for the limelight, the British collective Sault has made anonymity their signature.

This refusal to play by the rules—they do no interviews, no music videos, have no public personas—hasn't dulled their impact. If anything, it has heightened the allure. With their latest album, 10, Sault reaffirmed their position as one of the most vital, enigmatic forces in contemporary music.

Their music is a tapestry woven from the threads of Black musical heritage: neo-soul at its core, but shot through with post-punk's edge, funk's groove, Afrobeat's pulse, gospel's uplift, and glints of jazz and house.

Theirs is not casual genre-hopping. It is a deliberate act of reclamation and of storytelling. The collective's output is a living archive of struggle, hope, and resilience; a bridge between past and present, between pain and the promise of deliverance.
