the sky—stars, meteors, galaxies—and a lot of stuff from the sea: birds floating in the air or on water, eels and sea grass at the bottom of the sea.

“Veirs' songs qualify as poems: careful, word-conscious, narrative, neither foggy nor overwritten, and tend to give you a take on regular life experience that you don't quite expect.”
—The New York Times
On her third Nonesuch release, Saltbreakers, singer-songwriter Laura Veirs remains tantalized by the
mysteries and marvels of the natural world, filling her work with images, both precise and poetic, of the
ocean and the stars. But she digs even deeper this time into the vagaries of human nature, transforming
the turbulence of her own life, as well as her concerns about the hair-trigger state of the world at large,
into a collection of songs distinguished as much by their emotional urgency as by their often astonishing
musical inventiveness.
Veirs recorded the album in Seattle, with band-mate Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Bill Frisell) once
again producing and mixing. Though she now calls her group Saltbreakers, it's actually comprised of her
longtime compatriots, formerly known as the Tortured Souls -- guitarist/bassist Karl Blau, keyboardist
Steve Moore and drummer Tucker Martine.

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.
We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.
