Single// Fair Ohs - Salt Flats

Successive to the release of their astounding debut album – "Everything Is Dancing", as well as a collection of East-African Garage Punk singles, East London’s Fair Ohs have decided to release new single: "Salt Flats" in the limited format of flexi-postcard.

Beginning with a plodding bass-line that carries the whole song, inviting the arrival of a sitar sounding guitar line, playing Shankar style fills throughout. Containing vocals that resemble a gritty pop-punk version of Caleb Followill, under a stark hint of reverberation, manifesting itself into a vortex of afro-punk sounds accompanied by Deep South vocals.

"Salt Flats" injects a gleaming ray of sunshine onto the East End punk scene, not quite as fulfilling as previous single Everything Is Dancing, but is indeed a very fine track
