Salty Road Dogs Victory Anthem (New 7" Flexi)

Label: International Anthem

"Composed live in a Vienna soundcheck “Salty Road Dogs Victory Anthem" was recorded in London between the grueling demands of a ruthlessly creative tour following the release of Alabaster DePlume's critically acclaimed album 'GOLD'.

Leading with a confident charge of swirling saxophone Alabaster, is joined by “one of the most creative yet resilient groups I've put together" – Rozi Plain on bass, Momoko Gill on drums, and Conrad Singh on guitar – in building a triumphant four-minute crescendo as an homage to everyone 'getting away with it' – the “it” being, simply, life.

Alabaster in his own words says: “Even this very second, passing your eyes over these words, is a victory. Breathing, you are victorious. Childishly standing with my flag and my anthem of "I'm alive" I'm victorious. See inside, how you have your own permission, to be. Celebrated or not by others, in one moment, always, or never. You know you are here and you know this is a victory. We can always be more ourselves, and we can always be less so. But there is no ceremony we must wait for, no test, no judgement, before we can sing our victory anthem.”
