This is a fun one, I promise! Hailing from the greater Boston area (and in some cases, the same town as yours truly!), Diablogato are back with a new genre-bending EP, Snake Oil Salvation. It’s haunting and layered and a little dark and very much influenced by the state of the world circa 2024.
“Snake Oil Salvation is a reflection of the world we’re living in. The idea of snake oil – the slick talkers, the cons, the false promises – felt like the perfect metaphor for everything we’re trying to say. And salvation? Well, that’s what everyone’s chasing, right? But maybe it’s all smoke and mirrors. We’re mixing the grit with the hope, the lies with the redemption. It’s got a bit of that old-school hustler vibe, with a modern kick in the teeth.” — Andrew Indingaro
Snake Oil Salvation is due out digitally this Friday on Rum Bar Records – CD copies will follow in short order. Check it!
