Six years ago Saltillo released their debut album. In 2012 they return with another brilliant masterpiece; Monocyte.

It could be the clever combination of  the ‘old english’ sound samples interspersed throughout pounding beats or the wonderful female vocals that surface on select tracks. Or it could be the distinct eerie string melodies mixed with beats, synths and electronics that crafty weave themselves through out the album. Whatever it is, the combination of presented aural elements consistently paints a very dark and moody atmosphere. To me this is certainly not a happy go lucky album. Pretty much every track manages to elaborate further on the dark feel, which flows very smoothly from beginning to end of the album. Incredibly well done.

All in all I’d say this album is a must have in your collection, for nothing else will tickle your soul the way this album does.

Buy Saltillo’s album Monocyte on Storming The Base,  Amazon Mp3 or Amazon CD.
