SINGLE REVIEW: Hank Tree - Sweet Saltpeter

Single Review
Written By Amy

'Sweet Saltpeter' explores the feeling of being dispensable yet trapped in the grind of work life. Dreamily transcending these emotions, it radiates warmth, providing a reflective journey through the hardships expressed in the lyrics. Specifically, the song relates to the challenging conditions faced by workers in the saltpeter towns of Northern Chile.

Creatively blending ethereal dream pop with the storytelling essence of folk, occasional bursts of distorted noise rock add impactful layers, mirroring a mounting frustration. 'Sweet Saltpeter' is a hypnotically exquisite sound, neatly encapsulating the simple yet effective stance of post-rock within its genre merger.

The vocals exude honesty and a beautiful serenity, making it a truly captivating listen.

‘Sweet Saltpeter’ is taken from the EP “The Big North”
