Salty Miller: Album #1

Originally released in 1980 in very limited quantities, Salty Miller's sole album is a hidden gem of the Beach Music scene. Issued under the unwieldy Beach Music Records of the Carolinas label, the album blends soul, disco, and mid-tempo steppers, all perfectly suited to Beach Music's signature dance, the Shag. The album was dreamt up after Miller had stepped away from the music industry, only to return years later, driven by a mix of disposable income and lingering creative regret. Determined to record again, he made regular trips inland to North Carolina, assembling a cast of renowned musicians, including members of the legendary Beach Music combo The Embers. Steeped in local influences, oceanic soundscapes, and emotive string arrangements, the album serves as both a love letter to Beach Music's golden years and an outlier that pushed beyond it's conventions. While many tracks celebrate the nostalgic Beach Music themes of love and joy, others take on a stormier, more introspective tone-offering a rare departure from the genre's traditionally sun-soaked spirit. As sampled by The Avalanches... This long-awaited reissue comes with a newly written liner notes presented on an 2pp insert and has been expertly mastered and cut at AIR Studios. Tracklisting: A1.
