Album Description
Available in:
"Saltbreakers" is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Laura Veirs.
The album was released in Europe on March 17, 2007 and in the U.S. on April 10, 2007. It was released on Nonesuch Records, who also released two previous Veirs albums, Carbon Glacier and Year of Meteors.
Veirs has changed the name of her band since her last album.The three longtime band members who used to be known as the Tortured Souls are now called Saltbreakers.
Each album deals loosely with a different force of nature – Fire (Trouble With Fire), Water (Carbon Glacier), Air (Year Of Meteors) and Earth (The Triumphs and Travails Of Orphan Mae) – and with Saltbreakers the sea is the inspiration. With the title meaning ‘waves’ and being a metaphor for tears, you can expect a fair bit of poetic imagery – swimming with blossom, watching the heavenly stars twinkle, a woman getting seduced by a merman or smelling ‘the scent of the moon’ in “Don’t Lose Yourself”, a song inspired by the magic realism of Jose Saramago’s novel Blindness.
