Sea Salt is the project of Seattle-based artist Kurt Roy, who employs an engaging dream-pop aesthetic that rides on tranquil guitars and serene vocals, reminiscent of Wild Nothing. The first 17 seconds show this expansive dream-pop sound, with instruments scaling back in favor of a single guitar as Roy’s serene vocals come into play. The blissful guitar textures return by the 50-second mark, with the rest of this beautiful track maintaining this now-established textural dreaminess. “Frames” is a very easy track to get lost in, and a certain success from Sea Salt.
