FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Salim Nourallah to release album\u00a0<\/strong>in fall 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nFour pre-album bundles to be released\u00a0<\/strong>in advance of album<\/strong>
\nRespected Dallas, TX-based singer\/songwriter\/producer\/musician-of-many-trades Salim Nourallah is set to release a sprawling double-album,\u00a0Somewhere South of Sane<\/em>, this fall on Palo Santo Records. The release date and more details about the album will be announced soon. The 21 tracks that comprise the four-sided\u00a0Somewhere South of Sane<\/em>\u00a0are what Salim calls, \u201cthe work of a functional crazy person.\u201d Nourallah is equal parts songwriter and producer, creating a shifting sonic landscape that could easily be mistaken for the work of multiple artists. This is the sound of someone trying to save his own mind. Nourallah did \u2014 in the end \u2014 and created nothing short of a musical odyssey.<\/p>\n

In advance of the album release, Nourallah plans to put out four pre-album \u201cbundles\u201d that will include tracks from the album as well as previously recorded but unreleased material or acoustic re-imaginings of tracks from past Nourallah albums.\u00a0 Each bundle will be accompanied by new online video content. Bundle one, entitled\u00a0North<\/em>\u00a0and set for release on June 1, 2018, will include a track from\u00a0Somewhere South of Sane<\/em>\u00a0(\u201cRelief\u201d) as well as a re-recording of 2015\u2019s \u201cThe Bullies Are Back\u201d (assisted by the mind-bending instrumentation of guitarist Nick Earl, Nourallah\u2019s bandmate in the Travoltas and a musician he calls a \u201ctotal freak genius.\u201d). The other track on the bundle will be \u201cTotally Lost,\u201d a B-side that, along with \u201cRelief,\u201d was written and recorded at HEK studios, home of the Dixie Chicks\u2019 Martie Maguire. In conjunction with the release of\u00a0North<\/em>, fans will be able to check out the music video for \u201cRelief,\u201d which will premiere at that time as well.<\/p>\n

Additional bundles are planned leading up to the release of the full album, and full details for each will be announced soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took my sweet time making\u00a0Somewhere South of Sane<\/em>,\u201d Nourallah says, \u201cso I figured why not continue the trend and methodically enjoy the pre-release months? I also had almost an entire extra album\u2019s worth of tracks I left off because a triple record felt excessive. I will be releasing that bonus material in each of the pre-album bundles we roll out.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a solo artist, Nourallah has long mined the terrain between catchy and devastating. After gaining initial acclaim with the Denton, TX-based Nourallah Brothers, he went on to release six solo albums. His debut,\u00a0Polaroid<\/em>\u00a0(2004), had\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>\u00a0calling him \u201ca singer-songwriter who can stop time.\u201d 2015\u2019s\u00a0Skeleton Closet<\/em>\u00a0was cited by\u00a0Dusted<\/em>\u00a0as a \u201cmasterful balance of the said and the unsaid… like a good novel, full of implications and shadowy contradictions and complexities.\u201d As a producer, Nourallah boasts quite an impressive C.V. of production credits (Old 97\u2019s, the Damnwells, Rhett Miller, the Deathray Davies). He\u2019s also been involved in numerous other projects, including co-founding and running A & R for the Palo Santo music group. Over the years, his work on both sides of the sound booth has won him an armful of\u00a0Dallas Observer\u00a0<\/em>music awards. That, and the consistent quality of Salim Nourallah\u2019s music, have proven that some musicians actually can continue to stay relevant.<\/p>\n
