Salt doesn't waste time. The band members met while in an art school in Stockholm, Sweden. They opened a club on a houseboat and signed a deal with MVG Records. Get this: all of this happened within two years! And now with their video "Bluster" making it's rounds on MTV, this band is well on its way to stardom.
"Don't try to stereotype us, just open your ears." says Salt's lead singer Nina Ramsby. After this eclectic debut on Island, you won't know what exactly to call Salt's sound. But you will love it.
The best way to describe Salt would be fuzz-pop songs of Nirvana with Kim Deal singing. Nina's singing is most beautifully showcased on the only ballad of the album, "So". This one starts off with a really jangly guitar for the verses and then a more distorted chorus.
The song "Honour Me" starts off with some distorted single notes similar to Nirvana's cover of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World". After the intro, the song kicks in to high gear and you know you are in for a treat. The drums and bass provide thick groove for Nina's guitar and singing. If the radio stations ever discover this song, Salt would really take off.
The last song on the album is "Undressed". During the verses the there's a steady bass/drum foundation with the guitar coming in stronger during the noisy choruses. From the beginning to the end Salt is sure to leave a good taste in your mouth.
