The See You in Marfa EP is a collaborative effort with English guitarist/songwriter/producer, Marty Willson-Piper. Marty spent over 30 years in the Australian band, the Church. During the Fall of 2018 Salim assembled his long-time band of John Dufilho (Deathray Davies/Apples in Stereo), Joe Reyes (Buttercup), Richard Martin (Shibboleth) and Jason Garner (Polyphonic Spree) for the first time since 2011's Hit Parade. Along with Marty, co-producing and playing guitar, the group of six musicians cut an album and a half's worth of songs in a Nashville studio called Welcome to 1979. Plans to release a full length album of the material fell through when the Covid pandemic struck in March of 2020 and forced Marty to cancel plans to come to the United States and tour with Salim. Salim ended up indefinitely shelving the album, A Nuclear Winter. The five song See You in Marfa EP includes bonus material from the Nashville sessions as well as "Hold on to the Night," a song Salim and Marty wrote together.

about

I used to like this songwriter named Joseph Arthur. I was listening to a live concert he did at the Cactus in Austin and the crowd went nuts after he played the lamest love song. I thought, "I can write a better love song than that!" The timing was perfect because I was actually falling in love with a girl. When we booked our first road trip to Marfa I wanted to surprise her with a song. "See You I Marfa" came tumbling out...I'm still in love with the girl (in case you're wondering).

lyrics

see you in marfa
with the sun in your hair
smiling in the desert, light everywhere

taking a long stroll
happy and free
that's the way we were meant to be

all i wanna do
is write a love song for you
all i wanna say
is that i hope this feeling
won't go away...

see you in marfa
and you're holding my hand
with a blanket of stars and our feet in the sand

we're sleeping together
in a trailer for two
not a care in the world or a building in view

and all i wanna do
is write love songs for you
yeah, all i wanna say
is i hope this feeling
won't go away
yeah, i hope this feeling
will always stay

so i’ll see you in marfa
with sun in your hair
smiling in the desert, light everywhere
