PREMIERE: The Sky Blues - 'Salt'

Perth indie-rock outfit The Sky Blues have made a bold statement about their sound with the release of charming single Salt and its quirky music video.

The tune is one-half of double a-side Salt/Sand and sees a powerful juxtaposition between folk instrumentation and haunting melodies; The Sky Blues has swiftly honed in on a winning sound after only a short time in the game.

The accompanying film clip was shot by Sydney artist Mehmet Mevlütoğlu on the NSW coast with nothing more than an old tape camcorder.

You won’t see any launch shows in the near future, though, as the band hold up in a Chateau in the south of France already working on new material.

Keep an eye on theGuide for any gig announcements. You can download Salt/Sand via the band's Bandcamp.
