    All told, Saltwater's the most refreshing indie pop LP since Sufjan Stevens' Illinois.

    For all the grey matter on display, this is a Technicolor record. [Jul 2013, p.94]

    Rare and enchanting understatement in a brash and gaudy world. [Jun 2013, p.69]

    There's a lovely, skittering energy to the second album from Brazos, a restlessness that reflects the band's fitful existence.

    With Saltwater but as a difficult second album goes, this is a total breeze rather than a mainsail-battering ocean storm.

    Saltwater is an album that is eccentric on its own terms, which is to say off-kilter but charmingly so.

    Saltwater is a pretty record and the songs are clearly heavy with personal significance, but it was almost better when they were a little rough around the edges.
