I SHOULD CALL THEM Inkblot Splatter Vinyl LP

The music of LA-based Sudanese-American artist Dua Saleh (they/them) explores the inner self and the world at large. With their long-awaited full-length debut, a collection of R&B-infused electronic indie-pop songs titled I SHOULD CALL THEM, they portray the spiritual power, resilience, and joy of love. Equal parts imaginative and lived-through, it\’s a statement record only Saleh could make. Across three EPs since 2019, heralded by The New York Times (\”commanding\”), NPR (\”visionary\”), and Pitchfork (\”ambitious and riveting\”) alongside their breakout role in the Netflix series Sex Education Saleh has deftly fused and inverted genre conventions with a socially conscious style driven by melody, grit, and bravado. Salehs foundation as first a skilled poet and their close ties to the indigenous roots have enriched their music with incredible depth. In 2023, they signed with Ghostly International with the punk-leaning standalone single daylight falls and took the cover of GAY TIMES as their Rising Star in Music honour recipient. Now squarely at the helm of their first LP guests include Ambr, Gallant, serpentwithfeet, and Sid Sriram Saleh shapes their most vulnerable work to date, an apocalyptic narrative informed by environmental anxieties and their experiences as a lover, holding personal truth and hope amidst chaos. Sonically, the album ushers in a new era for the artist whose boundless sound continues to expand. Tracklist: 01. chi girl02. want03. time & time again (feat.
