Listen: Salt Cathedral - "Holy Soul"

The Brooklyn-based trio Salt Cathedral garnered a lot of attention last year with the release of their self-titled EP, turning heads with their brooding guitar riffs and their sharp vocals. Understandably, the South American-bred rockers are still attempting to acquire a sound they are happy and comfortable with before they settle into a LP-making scenario, planning to release the upcoming Oom Velt EP this year as part of the process. Today they have released the single "Holy Soul", a track that constantly veers towards bursting magnificently, yet ultimately remains a reserved display of musicianship and control. There's a certain hypnotic rhythm to the way lead singer Juliana Ronderos laces repetition over the blooming instrumentation, almost inducing a trance-like-state by the time the chorus comes around a second time. Check it out below.
