Paste Album of the Week alum Eliza McLamb joined us at our East Austin Block Party to perform songs from 'Going Through It.'
Coral Snake Austin’s inner stage was packed, the room buzzing with excitement on Friday afternoon as Eliza McLamb took the stage for our Paste recording sessions. Sharing a four-song set, two of which were off her debut album.
In conversation with Wagner, McLamb shared that recording in Bear Creek and working with Tudzin was incredible, as they worked on songs that represented McLamb’s childhood and adolescence. She shared that Bear Creek was instrumental in the process of excising all those heavy emotions. Not only was it beautiful and serene, the history of the place (Bear Creek is the studio where Big Thief recordedFor her second track, McLamb and the band played “Salt Circle” from her 2022 EP of the same name.
In discussing her lyrics, and her current inspiration versus that of years past, McLamb said “this last record was a moment of catharsis and a collection of material and memory, and almost like making a letter back to myself, reflecting my experience. That was obviously very heavy and intense at times,” she added “and now that that’s done I just wanna have fun, so the newer songs might be more fun.
Closing out with the last song on the debut record, McLamb played “To Wake Up.” It’s hard to avoid quoting every song in the session, as it’s clear how much love and attention was paid to every word on“To Wake Up” tells a story of introspection, a conversation with the self, a gratefulness for the pain along with the love, being kind to oneself and giving thanks to all the things in your life, that even waking up is a gift. It is enough to accomplish that.
Thank you so much to Eliza McLamb, Coral Snake Austin and our friends at Ilegal Mezcal, who help us throw these amazing Paste East Austin Block Parties. Come back next week for more session coverage in store!
