Salon Kingsadore: Salon Kingsadore

By Shaun Chait
The self titled debut from this accomplished Auckland quintet is an all instrumental affair. Showcasing the band's stylish, free moving sound, Salon Kingsadore are out of step with other vocal free styles and outfits, and that is welcomed. Somewhat difficult to categorise, SK sounds like the sixties meeting the new millennium in a Latin influenced lounge bar. The patrons are sophisticated surfy Shadows types partaking in cocktails and wine and cute little nibbles. Ennio Morricone is nodding away in a dark corner, perhaps playing a twangy guitar. It's an interesting world, and that is the one that Salon Kingsadore create on this smooth nine tracker. Led by talkative guitars and a solid beat, it comes as no surprise to learn SK have worked on film soundtracks - they would be perfect for that. Recorded live to two inch tape and available through Sarang Bang Records.
