Salt Ashes, the enigmatic force of dark synth-pop, returns with ‘Bad Things Right,’ a track that boldly ventures into the complex interplay of self-perception, rebellion, and defiance.
Released via Radikal Records, the single exemplifies Veiga Sanchez’s signature ability to craft emotionally resonant narratives within an infectious electronic soundscape. With its haunting melodies and deeply evocative lyrics, Bad Things Right solidifies Salt Ashes’ place as one of the most compelling voices in modern synth-pop.
The song’s depth is immediately striking. Exploring the frustration of being misjudged and cast as a villain, Salt Ashes turns vulnerability into power, asking: why not rebel when the world expects the worst from you anyway? This defiance pulses through the track’s darkly atmospheric production, blending hypnotic synths and an irresistible beat with her hauntingly ethereal vocals. The result is cathartic, drawing listeners into a world where rebellion is not only an act of resistance but also a form of self-liberation.
The accompanying music video, directed by the visionary Katya Ganfeld, elevates the song’s message through provocative visuals. In a dramatic moment, a church engulfed in flames becomes a symbolic rejection of judgement and imposed narratives, leaving a powerful impression of freedom and defiance.
With its pulsating energy, evocative visuals, and deeply personal narrative, the track is sure to resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike. The artist doesn’t just make addictive music – she crafts experiences that challenge and liberate.
