Salt Mirror's latest release, “My Own Canvas,” lies in its willingness to lean into awkward feelings instead of making them pretty. The lyrics are pages ripped from a private diary, full of candor, frustration, and a complicated relationship with self-worth. The line “I’m feeling empty but that’s my own canvas” is repeated and captures the crux of the song perfectly. I am especially drawn to the naked honesty of this record, and I think it will be a provocative listen for those willing to sit with its darker emotions.
