Beach-noir from a garage in Port Orange.
The Salt Line came up in the empty stretch between Daytona Beach and New Smyrna — surf-punk swagger crossed with the slow-burn songwriting of the indie rock canon. Frontwoman Mara Voss writes about the residue salt leaves on everything. Cy Halsted holds it down on bass and Ren Okafor plays drums like they're trying to crack the kit in half.
Two years in, three EPs deep, with growing followings in Daytona, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville. Sodium Light is their first record made in a real recording window — three weeks straight, no day jobs — and it sounds like it: tight, mean, and tuned for the room.
“We're trying to write songs that sound the way the boardwalk feels at 11pm.” — Mara Voss

What people are saying.
Sodium Light is the most confident debut to come out of the Florida coast in years — coastal punk with bones of indie rock.
Mara Voss writes hooks that stick to the inside of your skull for three days.
If The War on Drugs grew up in a Port Orange garage with too much reverb pedal.
