“A pop star with immaculate self-governing credentials, equal parts charty and arty.” - The Guardian

“Salt Ashes is the dame of dark pop” - Wonderland

“She channels the glacial tones of Scandi-pop singers like MØ... adds a deeply organic and earthy element to the genre” - DIY

Salt Ashes, the enigmatic dark synth-pop artist also known as Veiga Sanchez, returns with her new single, ‘Bad Things Right’, out on November 13th via Radikal Records. Salt Ashes delivers a bold narrative on self-perception and rebellion, inviting listeners to question the way mistrust and judgement shape our identities.

Directed by filmmaker Katya Ganfeld, the accompanying music video amplifies the song’s message of rebellion and self-liberation, set against a backdrop of provocative imagery and intense emotion. A dramatic climax unfolds with a symbolic church setting engulfed in flames, illustrating the fierce rejection of judgement and expectations. Blending her haunting vocals with evocative synths, Salt Ashes crafts a darkly infectious track, paired with Ganfeld’s powerful visual interpretation.

“‘Bad Things Right’ dives into the frustration of being cast as the villain in someone else’s story,” Salt Ashes explains. “It’s about what it feels like to be misjudged and how mistrust and blame can twist a person’s sense of self. Why not rebel and be bad when everyone expects the worst in you anyway? From hurt to defiance.” The single is a pulsating blend of dark synth-pop, brought to life by Salt Ashes’ haunting vocals and an irresistible beat, capturing the friction between vulnerability and rebellion.

Salt Ashes has steadily built her reputation through both her music and electric live performances. Since her debut, she has gained wide acclaim and support from industry heavyweights such as The Guardian, Attitude Magazine, Buzzfeed, Gaydio, Notion, Wonderland, DIY, and Metal. Her 2021 album ‘Killing My Mind’, produced by Louis Souyave, reached the Top 10 in the iTunes Pop Album Charts, with all four singles charting on the iTunes Singles Charts and receiving support from BBC Introducing.

In the past two years, Salt Ashes has released a string of singles and music videos, amassing over a million combined views and continuing to expand her devoted fanbase. Her track ‘Didn’t See It Coming’, produced by Grammy-nominated Dimitri Tikovoi, became a fan favourite, with its music video reaching over half a million views and securing a coveted play on Elton John’s Rocket Hour Show. With BBC Surrey and BBC Sussex inviting her for live sessions and her track ‘Stains’ securing Radio 1 airplay from Gemma Bradley, Salt Ashes’ ability to captivate audiences and critics alike has only strengthened.

Salt Ashes first captivated the dance music world in 2016 with her self-titled debut album, produced by the late Daniel Fridholm (AKA Cruelty) and Rob Irving (House of Emeralds). Tracks like ‘Save It’ garnered significant attention, reaching #22 on Billboard’s Dance Club Chart and gaining placements on Music Week’s Club Charts. Earlier singles ‘Somebody’ and ‘If You Let Me Go’ also found success, charting in the Top 5 on Billboard and Music Week’s Dance Charts and earning Salt Ashes MTVU Freshmen and MTV IGGY’s Artist of the Week honours. Her 2015 track ‘Raided’, supported by BBC Introducing and playlisted on BBC Radio 1Xtra, remains a Spotify fan favourite, solidifying her unique sound and style.

Beyond the studio, Salt Ashes has captivated audiences with her electric stage presence, touring with a wide range of artists including supporting Goldfrapp on tour, ‘80s pop sensation Tiffany, Alphabeat, Tove Styrke, Say Lou Lou, Little Boots, NIMMO, and Bimini, among others.
