Description:
Listening to Laura Veirs is like looking up into the night sky and suddenly witnessing a meteor shower: there`s something startling and magical, both intimate and awesome, about her songs. The nature-obsessed images Veirs conjures up and the mesmerizing sound she creates are as indelible as the blaze of shooting stars. "Saltbreakers", her third album release in three years, is her most beautifully realized band-oriented disc yet. Produced by Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, Built To Spill), it is by turns haunting, playful, tender and fierce, embracing everything from machine-driven beats (the single `Don`t Lose Yourself`) to angelic gospel choirs (`To The Country`) to fuzzed-out guitars and driving alt-rock rhythms (`Phantom Mountain`). (Nonesuch)
