London jazz musician, poet and composer Angus Fairborn who performs as Alabaster DePlume returns with new single 'Salty Road Dogs Victory Anthem'. One side of a new flexi-disk release, the new track is billed as a celebration of survival, a mindful reminder of the small glory of being alive, joined by Rozi Plain on bass, Momoko Gill on drums, and Conrad Singh on guitar, DePlume performs wavering saxophone lines over a skittish beat, menacing bass line and atmospheric electronic swirls. In his own words he describes the mood of the piece, "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." The physical release is set for the 19th of May on International Anthem with accompanying the b-side 'Child Playing in Forbidden Ruins'. -Toby Evans-Jesra
