True to form, Sault released Chapter 1 without warning in 2026, and this UK import pressing captures one of the most patient, spiritually charged records the elusive collective has made.
Since 2019 the London group, steered by producer Inflo with Cleo Sol among its central voices, has released a remarkable run of albums while saying almost nothing in public. No interviews, few photos, just music arriving when it is ready. That approach has earned them a Mercury Prize nomination, an Ivor Novello award and a devoted following that treats every surprise drop like an event.
Chapter 1 slows the pulse. The collective described it as music in which rhythm, breath and silence sit side by side, and that is exactly how it feels: spacious arrangements, hushed vocals and plenty of room for reflection. "God, Protect Me from My Enemies" opens the record with prayer-like intensity, "Fulfil Your Spirit" offers gentle encouragement, and "Love Does Not Equal Pain" delivers quiet reassurance to anyone who needs to hear it. "Lord Have Mercy" deepens the gospel thread that runs through the whole set.
It's soul music as meditation, rooted in faith and resilience, and it rewards listening from start to finish without distraction. On vinyl, the silences feel every bit as important as the notes.
