Better off Alone

Salem

The best mix tapes cover the highs and lows of living — and this witch-house track brings things way back down with the artist SALEM. The vocal is a disarming, off-kilter electronic moan. Over and over we hear Do you think you’re better off alone? The answer sure feels like no, because the yearnings in these dark soundscapes feel beautiful and connected to humanity. This stunning track is currently on my new playlist for a new screenplay I’m writing called ABOVE THE TREES.
