Eight Gigs: Garrett Klahn

Garrett Klahn released his debut solo record earlier this year, and there’s no picture of him on the cover—or even his name. That’s because Klahn’s background is in playing with hardcore, emo and post-hardcore groups, most famously ’90s emo-core legends Texas is the Reason. The ethos of these genres has always been about the collaborative dynamic. Klahn’s album, despite being a “solo record,” is even more of a group effort than anything he’s yet done. He worked with nine other people to create this spectacular batch of low-key, emo-influenced indie tunes. 1400 Blue Alhambra Boulevard, www.soundcloud.com/garrettklahn.
