Haley Blais - Below the Salt (2020)

Vancouver-based singer-songwriter and musician Haley Blais is set to release her debut studio album “Below the Salt” on August 25th visa Tiny Kingdom. “Below the Salt” is a coming of age story recognizing that there is no real ‘coming of age’, and that there are hundreds of instances of recognition and learning. Williams’ lyrics riff on the joys and banalities of the every day, on the need to break apart and away from an uninspiring life, on radical acceptance, and manifesting a world where you feel proud of yourself and who you’re surrounded by. Below the Salt is described as a coming of age story that recognizes that there is no real ‘coming of age.’ There are hundreds of instances of recognition and of learning. What do we do when we find them? Well according to Haley, we take them with us. As dissonant guitar strings fire and a bass drum pulses on the single “Rob the Original” Haley softly lulls us with this record’s ethos, With all these magic moments sparkling/This one’s mine.
