Austin, Texas-born Martin Crane (brainchild of Brazos) blends perfectly into the NYC Indie scene. Since his debut album in 2009, Crane fell out of touch with his purpose but reclaims it with “Saltwater,” an album dedicated to self-reflection and spirituality (due out May 28, 2013). I guess that can happen after flooding your veins with booze for a few years, as the artist claimed he did. The mellow vocals paired with quiet guitar chords and well-crafted percussion fuse together to make for a peaceful listen. Check them out during their residency at NYC’s Cameo Gallery tonight, or every Tuesday until May 7th. Streaming below, a song from the upcoming record, video here. – Michael Haskoor
