Salter Cane are back! The legendary post-punk folk-noir band from Brighton are making their long-anticipated return to the stage to launch their brand new album, Deep Black Water.

Formed in Brighton in the early 2000s, Salter Cane established themselves as an unmissable live act, opening for The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Giant Sand, and more, while also releasing two classic albums; their eponymous debut in 2007, and Sorrow in 2010. Now, with the release of their third album, Deep Black Water, Salter Cane are returning with menacing songs from the depths of the subconscious.

Join them for the album launch at the Hope and Ruin on Friday, 20th June for an unforgettable evening of magnificent music.

“A dark and thrilling mix of Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Sixteen Horsepower and Joy Division. Bloody marvellous!” —Totally Radio

“The kind of haunting slide guitar sounds and vocals that penetrate the mean and soulful receptors of the brain.” —BBC
