Fuegostine (Matt) talks with Swedish folk/country singer-songwriter Sarah Klang about growing up in Sweden, her relationship with music and her daughter as well as finding ways to work through anxiety in the presence of social media.
Sarah Klang’s latest album, Beautiful Woman, is an expansive exploration of womanhood – from childhood to motherhood via teenage years, relationships and beyond. Klang digs deep into her own life on this new album to unpack the very essence of what it means to be a woman today. “This entire album is a celebration of womanhood and girlhood. It’s about the awkwardness of being a child, a teenager and about understanding your relationship with your body and self in a patriarchal world.” Klang explains she wanted to make an “unashamedly bigger and more popsounding” album. Beautiful Woman marks a bold change in direction and approach. She chose to record the album with the Grammy-nominated, US multiinstrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer Eric D. Johnson (Bonny Light Horseman, Fruit Bats, The Shins). The experience also saw Klang switch to a live recording style in the studio with an extraordinary team musicians curated specifically for their roles including; Josh Adams on drums (Cat Power, Beck, Wild Nothing), Josh Mease on bass (The Weeknd, Fruit Bats), mixing by Jarvis Taveniere (Avalanches, Whitney, King Gizzard). The album is mastered by Heba Kabry, the studio mastermind behind Big Thief, Bjork, Future Islands, Mdou Moctar, Cat Le Bon, Animal Collective and many more. Klang is a two-time Swedish Grammis award winner and has extensive press coverage from; Rolling Stone Germany, The Line of Best Fit, NME, Clash, BBC Music, Billboard, DIY, Variety, The Guardian.
