Sales Information:

Never one to opt for the easy route, Steinberg’s ‘Salamander’ EP showcases four brand new cuts rather than falling back on existing album material. But don’t go mistaking these for B-sides, however; each track oozes class and attention to detail, the level of which you’ve come to expect from a perfectionist like Steinberg. Title track ‘Salamander’ carries itself with all the assured swagger of an international spy, with majestic strings and grandiose piano sections waltzing across a clipped tech-house drum groove. ‘Moon Ride’ is a joyous latticework of quirky percussion, horn stabs and snatched soul acapellas, boasting shamelessly exuberant dancefloor charm. Things take a darker turn on the flip, ‘Beautiful’, with dense slabs of warm analogue bass and mournful, scattered vocal snippets. On ‘Lazy Bones’ the vibe switches down a notch, and the track rolls along with a languid euphoria to end the EP on a blissfully high note.
