Parisian duo SALM have taken one step further with their recent visual release to Toy Spark Gun, their newest single featuring British vocalist and producer Dan Black. This hypnotic music video captivates us with it’s stunning kaleidoscope sequences, futuristic feels and of course the intimate appearance of themselves throughout it. “Toy Spark Gun” is the third single off their forthcoming February LP, Endless Stairs.
[quote style=”1″ author=”SALM”]“We’re really excited about our new music video because it’s a kind of ’back to the roots’ for us,” the duo explained. “In fact it’s been a few years that we didn’t appear in our own music videos, and this time we’re playing inside. There’s a kind of metaphor of the musical creation / composition with the girl who’s dancing between us and she’s kind of making the alchemy between acoustic and electronic, between the violin and the cello.”[/quote]
Fellow Music graduates Yannick and Thomas of SALM adopt an academic approach to party music, infusing both their passion for Stravinski as well as Daft Punk. SALM’s debut album garnered critical acclaim from fans and peers alike back in 2009 and the duo’s career trajectory has been skyrocketing ever since. Having shared the stage with fellow luminaries like The Bloody Beetroots, Gonzales, Jeff Mills, Madeon, Icona Pop and Zedd. They also sold 15,000 copies of their first album and toured cities from Koko in London, to Cigale in Paris and Krysha Mira in Moscow. Regulars on the fashion circuit, the duo have played at various shows including Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler and Chanel.
