Editor's note

Salem's slow, heavy beats and washed-out gloom

The Michigan electronic duo creates atmospheric, unsettling music that has appeared in shows like American Horror Story.

For their particular brand of dark electronics, start with 'Feed On Your Grief' or 'Decadence In Solitude.' Both tracks frame that slow, heavy atmosphere they've been building since 2008.

Salem's music pulls from goth and industrial textures to create something genuinely haunting. Songs like 'Feed On Your Grief' show their approach with slow, heavy beats and washed-out vocals that define a particular mood in underground electronic circles. Their cinematic quality has landed their work in American Horror Story, which feels perfectly matched to their aesthetic.

They started making music around 2008 and put out their first album, 'Yes, I Am,' in 2010. They followed with albums like 'King Night' in 2011 and 'Water' in 2017, maintaining a consistent, shadowy aesthetic throughout. The duo, Heather Fortune on vocals and John Holland on production, kept working, putting out 'Redneck' in 2019.

Salem is an electronic duo from Michigan that started making music around 2008. Their sound pulls from goth and industrial textures, creating something that feels both atmospheric and unsettling. They put out their first album, 'Yes, I Am,' in 2010, which helped define a particular mood in underground electronic circles at the time.

Songs like 'Feed On Your Grief' and 'Drums Of The Dead Part 2' show their approach: slow, heavy beats, washed-out vocals, and a general sense of gloom. They followed that debut with albums like 'King Night' in 2011 and 'Water' in 2017, maintaining a consistent, shadowy aesthetic throughout.

The group consists of Heather Fortune on vocals and John Holland handling production. Their music has appeared in shows like 'American Horror Story,' which makes sense given its cinematic, haunted quality. They've kept working, putting out 'Redneck' in 2019, and their tracks continue to draw listeners who appreciate that particular brand of dark, atmospheric electronics.
