Sault, the elusive UK collective, have released a new surprise album. Titled Acts of Faith, their 11th LP is out now via Forever Living Originals and is available to download for free as a .wav file through a WeTransfer link that the group shared online. It’s one 32-minute track that’s produced by Inflo.
This past December, Sault played their first-ever concert at London’s Drumsheds. The event doubled as an interactive installation in which attendees walked through a series of decorated rooms, and Acts of Faith was reportedly previewed at that show. Sault also suggested that more tour dates would follow suit in New York, London, Los Angeles, Canada, Germany, Paris, and Africa, but those shows were never announced.
In 2022, Sault uploaded five new albums in a password-protected folder: Aiir, 11, Earth, Today & Tomorrow, and (Untitled) God. The group continued exploring the R&B, funk, and experimental sounds of their breakthrough records Untitled (Black Is) and Untitled (Rise), as well as 2021’s Nine, with those albums.
Technically Sault have never publicly shared an official band lineup, but the group is believed to center around Inflo, a producer who previously worked with Adele, Little Simz, and Michael Kiwanuka.
