A Common Truth is the second album by Saltland, the solo project of veteran Montr al
cellist and composer Rebecca Foon. Following the acclaimed 2013 debut I Thought It
Was Us But It Was All Of Us, Foon performed Saltland live in various successful
configurations, but as the concept and compositions for a new album began to
materialize, she wished to further expand on an approach with her cello as primary
source for all sounds on the record. Combining unadulterated, processed and sampled
cellos, A Common Truth largely reflects this commitment and results in an album of
gorgeous integrity, restraint, and meditative intensity. The one notable exception:
longtime friend and prior collaborator Warren Ellis (Nick Cave, The Dirty Three) is the
sole invited guest player on the new album, contributing his inimitable violin (and
pump organ) to the album's four instrumental tracks
