Sarah Klang played three songs for our traveling studio at the Paste East Austin Block Party.
Sarah Klang joined us at Coral Snake Austin for our East Austin Block Party, sponsored by Ilegal Mezcal. Klang performed two songs from her 2021 albumFor her first song, Klang sang “Ghost Killer” from Virgo. Dreamy guitar from Theo Stocks played as Sarah harmonized overtop, singing about letting go of a lover in the past, and their reminders remaining like a ghost.
“Nothing feels as good as being skinny / I was told / Nothing makes you happier than being pretty,” Klang sings in the first lines of “Other Girls”. Her words hit hard, as the song talks about the social pressure to conform and to push oneself into a box to fit to social norms. Though most of the information on the new record is still under wraps, Klang agreed to share with us that it is “a celebration of girlhood”, as it was described by a close friend. “Other Girls” has Klang grappling with the complexities of becoming a mother and her own personal history. This album is not just about her daughter, but the woman that she might become..
In the stream-of-consciousness song style that she’s become known for, Klang’s emotionality is overwhelming. She has an exceptional talent for finding the universal within the personal, which makes the experience of listening to her feel so intimate to one’s own strife. Thank you so much to Sarah Klang, Coral Snake Austin, Ilegal Mezcal for helping us put together these East Austin Block Parties. Stay tuned for the following weeks to see more recordings we have in store!
