The Salt Collective (2025)

🎙️ Salt Collective is a power pop band with a deep bench. This second full-length album “A Brief History of Blindness” is led by Parisian musician Stéphane Schück and features contributions from many power pop artists, including 1980s college rock icons Chris Stamey (who also produced), Mitch Easter (whose North Carolina studio birthed this album) and Let’s Active’s Lynn Blakely who sings lead or back-up on nearly half the tracks. Additional contributors include Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws, Jason Falkner, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Pat Sansone, Aimee Mann, and Andy Partridge.
