,: Haley Blais is a Vancouver based singer-songwriter and musician. :,
: Haley has been DIY-ing it since 2014, turning out song after :
:' song of defiant scream-into-your-pillow bedroom pop anthems ':
,: recorded in her actual bedroom. 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 :,
