LAURA VEIRS Saltbreakers (2007 UK 12-track CD album - Produced by Tucker Martine [Decemberists, Built To Spill], Laura's 3rd album is her most beautifully realised band-oriented disc yet; haunting, playful, tender and fierce, it embraces 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'])
