Cosmic, jangly folk-rock about American landscapes.
Rural Missouri–born, Chicago-based singer-songwriter Steve Slagg has released dozens of original songs since 2011, a body of work that zigs and zags stylistically, guided by his collaborators in the Chicago DIY scene and his work in queer community-building. But he’s a chameleon with a distinctive voice: his folk-pop songs are earthy but mystical, cynical but hopeful, conversational but poetic, and painstakingly honest, except when they’re not. As a fellow songwriter once put it, “Steve, your songs are full of poison. But also the only known antidote to that poison.”
To make his forthcoming third album, I Don’t Want to Get Adjusted to This World, out 9/21/24, Slagg moved from writing on piano to guitar and took vocal lessons in order to let his voice drive his songwriting. In the studio, he self-produced for the first time, recruiting Chicago power pop band Mooner (of which Slagg is also a member) to serve as his band and co-producers, with long-time engineer Dorian Gehring (Finom, Chicago’s Cosmic Country Showcase) co-producing, engineering, and mixing. Overdubs came from Chicago and beyond, including guitarist John Gargiulo (Contorno), woodwind player Eric Novak (The Curls, Red Scarves), Los Angeles composer and brass player Aaron Esposito (Son Lux, Knives Out OST), and Slagg’s mentor, Massachusetts singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Erin McKeown (The Mountain Goats, Miss You Like Hell). Together they crafted lush, jangly Americana that occasionally collapses into angular noise and ambient sound, all while keeping Slagg’s voice front and center.
