Release Notes:
The two elements that comprise salt, sodium (Na) and
chlorine (Cl), are considered two of the most
volatile in the periodic table. When they combine to
form salt, instead of creating another unpredictable
ion, they become one of the most versatile, stable
compounds. Salt is an integral part of the ocean.The
great mass of ocean that engulfs the earth can often
also be a source of trauma, as witnessed by the
devastation of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in
September 2005.
"This city is a bad lover/ To quick and inattentive/
Let's sink this city and build ourselves / Over",
sings Beth Cameron on, "The Catch", from the band's
upcoming Tangled Up! release, Salt. An attack of
sorts on FEMA's response to New Orleans, "The
Catch", says Beth, "is just about cities and how we
form relationships with themàand when a city doesn't
come through like we feel it should have, we crucify
it".
It is not easy to brand Forget Cassettes as any one
thing. It seems that they pride themselves on their
chameleon-like music that sheds so many skins in
minutes. Many of the songs on Salt address ideas of
love disappeared and faded, a universal theme
familiar to most. While it may feel that during
circumstances like these that we will cry ourselves
an ocean, it is important to remember that Salt is
often put on wounds to make them heal. Sometimes it
has to hurt in order to become better. It feels like
Beth Cameron's Forget Cassettes wants us to feel
that pain, to taste the salt of her tears, but to
know that change comes from destruction. Sometimes
rebuilding those pillars is the only way to
continue.
'Salt' will be released on April 2nd 2007.
