Audio By Carbonatix
What comes to mind when you think of Salt Lake City, Utah? Luxurious homes, looming Mormon tabernacles, men with multiple wives and a dozen little kids, all laughing and running across manicured green lawns toward their SUVs? The Salt Lake City stigma may stick to uncomfortable places, but take a peek behind the Zion Curtain and you’ll find a festering music scene.
There’s nothing homogenous about Death by Salt, an extravagantly packaged three-CD boxed set boasting tracks from 59 of SLC’s best bands. SLUG magazine has served up this audio buffet, which includes techno, alt-country, punk, hip-hop, goth, folk, industrial, death metal, jazz, and straight-up rock ‘n’ roll. The Killpatricks, the Coyote Hoods, Facts, Dulcesky, and Buddha Brothers all deliver standout tracks, but everything on the comp is worth a listen. While you digest the four hours of music, check out the full-color, 72-page booklet that’s included — it’s a feast for the eyes.
