Audio Mixer: Tucker Martine. Recording information: Cash Cabin, Hendersonville, TN; Flora, Seattle, WA. Photographer: Autumn DeWilde. For her sixth record--aptly titled SALTBREAKERS--Laura Viers crafts a 12-song cycle with every number either lyrically or sonically referencing the ocean. Songs expand and withdraw with a mesmerizing, tidal effect that draws the listener in from the first measure. Viers's impeccable production choices and versatile, stylish vocal delivery are enrapturing, and spike the proceedings with enough aural hooks to keep the oceanic tone from ever getting tired. Featuring star axeman Bill Frisell, SALTBREAKERS is an easy-on-the-ears stunner. minimize
