Since the success of her 2018 EP :, : Let Yourself Go, Haley has earned a considerable online : :' reputation for her self-deprecating, self-loving balladry sung ': ,: out in operatic crescendos. 90k monthly Spotify listeners and :, : 175k YouTube subscribers have been eagerly awaiting new : :' material. ': ,: :, : : :' ': ,: Below the Salt is the debut studio LP from the up and comer, :, : released on Tiny Kingdom Music. Featuring production from indie : :' favourites Tennis (Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley) and fellow ': ,: Vancouver artist Louise Burns, HaleyÆs signature sound has :, : matured into a distinct new voice. The record bursts out of the : :' gate in a flurry of drums and keys, soaring synths have ': ,: replaced ukulele noodling, and confidence has replaced doubt as :, : Haley belts out rock and roll confessionals by way of Stevie : :' Nicks, Karen Carpenter, and Hayley Williams. Her 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 youÆre surrounded by. :, : : :' ': ,: :, : However, getting there is messy, and Haley doesnÆt shy away from : :' those moments either. ôCan I become what I think I am?ö She ': ,: asks us on the album opener ôSomeone Called While You Were Outö :, : over a jangling piano and violin. ItÆs a question that doesnÆt : :' necessarily have an answer, but that doesnÆt stop her from ': ,: asking it. ôFind myself inside a cab at a stoplight/I like :, : crying inside vehicles at night but it gets easier when all the : :' lights go down/to avoid explaining the tears of a clownö she ': ,: sings on ôSo Funny.ö ItÆs an ugly process to realizing yourself :, : and sometimes things arenÆt pretty when you get there either. : :' But at least we can take solace in some swelling harmonies and ': ,: guitar solos, finding company with a voice that takes life and :, : happiness seriously, but has plenty of fun with herself along : :' the way. ': ,: :, : : :' ': ,: At other times weÆre witness to cathartic moments of epiphany, :, : of questions with emphatic unrestrained answers. ôNow I see what : :' itÆs about/Drowning me then dry me out/Careful things youÆve ': ,: now forgot about me now/Ready or notö she shouts on ôReady or :, : Notö before being enveloped by shoegazey riffs and strings. : :' ': ,: :, : : :' Below the Salt is a coming of age story that recognizes that ': ,: there is no real æcoming of age.Æ 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 guitars strings fire and a bass drum pulses on the :, : single ôRob the Originalö Haley softly lulls us with this : :' recordÆs ethos ôWith all these magic moments sparkling/This ': ,: oneÆs mine.ö :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
