Description
A Brief History of Blindness is a follow-up to Life, the critically acclaimed 2023 album debut from French songwriter-guitarist Stéphane Schück's international collaborative project, The Salt Collective.

The new album is a widescreen exploration of hope, memory, and resilience that features contributions from Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday), Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Andy Partridge (XTC), Jason Falkner (Jellyfish), Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Pat Sansone (Wilco), Mitch Easter (Let's Active), Chris Stamey (The dB's) and more.

While The Salt Collective's first outing was recorded remotely with many vocalists and instrumentalists working separately on multiple continents at different times, A Brief History of Blindness features the core musicians gathered in the same space interacting together in real time. The bulk of the music was laid down by Rob Ladd (The Connells) on drums, Gene Holder (The dB's) on bass, Stéphane Schück on guitars & sound design, Mitch Easter (Let's Active) on guitars, and Wes Lachot on organ, piano, and Nord. These full-band sessions took place at the Fidelitorium (Kernersville, NC), with other work at Studio Ferber (Paris), and various home studios. The album was produced by Chris Stamey and mastered by Dave McNair.
