I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us is the magical and outstanding debut album from Saltland, the new project led by Montreal based cellist Rebecca Foon, who is best known as a founding member of Esmerine and a former member of Thee Silver Mt. Zion and Set Fire To Flames.
The album was co-produced and mixed by Mark Lawson in Foon’s home studio in Montreal and it features a stellar cast of contributors, including Colin Stetson, Laurel Sprengelmeyer and Jess Robertson (Little Scream), Sarah Neufeld and Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire) and Mishka Stein (Patrick Watson), amongst others.
According to the press release, “Foon sings of childhood innocence lost, of tender utopic reveries and downcast dystopic horizons, and the search for soft, stoic strength in a darkening, devolving world”.

I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us came out earlier this week via Constellation Records, and to celebrate the release, Saltland is offering the beautiful ‘Treehouse Schemes’ as a free download. Here it is.
