"I know how you feel, I know how you feel. You love to say how I feel..."
I like music that mentally makes me take a step back and that is what happens when I listen to "Tangerine & Yellow" by New Orleans born, Texas raised and rural New York based, artist, musician, singer-songwriter, calligrapher Sarah La Puerta. I mean the song is wide eyed beautiful but also has a warped quality. Not carnival mirror bent but maybe like looking through glasses with prism lens. The pretty keys, lo-fi beat, plucky bass and purposeful synth strings feel like they are sauntering while looking at the beautiful blue sky but maybe not aware of the dirty puddles on the ground. Sarah's voice feels at once grounded in an innate self awareness but also floating in the ether of things surreal.
Yes, Sarah's songs mentally make me take a step back. Deadly, absurd in the best way, cosmetically darkly smart, twisted, funny and coyly beautiful, her songs make me smile too. They make movies in my head that I wish I could see on the silver screen.
