The international group The Salt Collective has released the title track from their forthcoming EP, Last Day That We’re Young, out May 23rd, 2025. The single “Last Day That We’re Young” is a cover of a beloved Game Theory song. The cover was tracked initially in 2005 with Game Theory’s Scott Miller himself on guitar.

The groundwork for the new EP from the multifaceted Paris and North Carolina-based ensemble actually dates back to 2000, when Collective leader, Stéphane Schück, first met the late Scott Miller (Game Theory / Loud Family) in San Francisco.

Here is what Stéphane has to say about the track:

“We have to go back to December 31, 1989. The last day of the 1980s. My friends and I had an important question to answer: “What song were we going to leave the 1980s with?” We’d entered the decade at the age of 12 and were going to leave it at 22 years-old. This question consumed us for six months . . . until we all finally agreed it would be “Last Day That We’re Young” by Game Theory. We started the track at 11:58 p.m. and entered the 1990s singing along with Scott’s poignant lyrics!

In 2005, when Scott came to France to produce one of my albums, I told him that story, which made him smile. I think it was quite an unexpected revelation. I couldn’t resist asking him if we could play “Last Day That We’re Young” together. Scott knew how important that song was to me. We [hit record] and he played these two wonderful riffs.“

More music from The Salt Collective will follow later this year with a new full-length album, A Brief History of Blindness, featuring contributions from Matthew Caws, Aimee Mann, Jason Falkner, Andy Partridge, Mike Mills, and more.
