Posted Jun 22, 2018

I know I’ve said that I don’t do album reviews anymore, but the new Panic! At the Disco album, Pray For The Wicked, is just so life-altering that I can’t help it. And by life-altering, I mean that it just might end up nudging its way onto my Top 20 Albums of All-Time...

Today we have "Helium," the excellent second single from the artist simply known as Salt. I love the way the track blends synthesizers and snappy beats with her sometimes ethereal vocals. The artist she most reminds me of is the great Florence Welch (a.k.a. Florence + The...
