SAULT have unfurled a surprise new album called Air.

It dropped with seven tracks: “Reality,” “June 55,” “Solar,” “Heart,” “Lous Higher,” the title track, and “Time Is Precious.” On the latter, SAULT lean into a capella gospel sounds as they preach “Don’t waste time ’cause time is precious/ It’s your only time you’ve got here/ Life will always bring its precious/ Music, wise up, keep those treasures.” Related Video Air is available for purchase as either a CD, a vinyl LP, or a name-your-price digital download.
