“Vienna by way of Manchester artist, salute, announces their forthcoming album TRUE MAGIC on Ninja Tune. Featuring lead single ‘saving flowers,’ a stunning collaboration with multi-hyphenated artist Rina Sawayama, salutes forthcoming album also features Disclosure, Empress Of, Karma Kid, Sam Gellaitry, piri, La Sen, LEILAH and Nakamura Minami. ‘I took a pop approach to the record,’ says salute. ‘I went in quite blindly just with some loops and ideas but theres much more of a focus on songwriting and collaboration on this album. In dance music there always seems to be this focus on doing everything yourself but I wanted to get a team around me to develop the ideas I had. One thing Im really proud of is how organic the work with the collaborators is. Ive managed to get such a breadth of amazing people on the record.’ Taking aesthetic and auditory inspiration from old Japanese car adverts, which salute spent hours trawling through YouTube archives to find, they developed a concept for the album of driving an old JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) car in a race called TRUE MAGIC. This highly visual concept helped propel the sonics of the album forward and give the album a sense of driving momentum.” – Ninja Tune
