Saltland
Saltland is Rebecca Foon's solo project. The first album featured a long list of friends and past collaborators while on the second album Rebecca set out to create a more rigorously solo work, using her cello as the predominant source for almost all the music and sounds on the record.

"[G]orgeous, cinematic"
The Quietus
The second solo album by Rebecca Foon, composer and cellist from Esmerine, Thee Silver Mt Zion and Set Fire To Flames. The four instrumental tracks on the album were co-written with Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Dirty Three), with Warren contributing violin, loops and pump organ.
"With a voice equally suited to opening petals and opening wounds, Foon sings to the earth like a mother to a newborn, beaming with hope while gripped with fear. But she also offers an alternate form of resistance: transformation.”

Foon's voice [is] an instrument of somnolent, gossamer allure which floats gracefully amid the eddying, amniotic music."
