Saltbreakers Carries with it Some Rarified Air
Decor8 has introduced me to Laura Veirs and her new cd, Saltbreakers. What first attracted me to the image were the colors, with its midnight blue sky, ocean blues and the forlorn algae green dragon, my current favorite color combinations. So, in taking the time to peruse Laura Veirs site and navigate to where I could listen to her music while taking in the cd’s illustrations, I came to understand the connection Ms. Veirs has to not only the title of the cd but the artwork itself. In looking at all of her images, of her band (I take it), and video stills, it all has to do with the coast. I love the inspiration I get from looking at the images, almost smelling the deep salt air, and all the while being introduced to indie/alternative/folk rock music. Her lyrics have maritime and nautical references, so do some of her song titles….I’m hooked.
