🌟 Album Overview: Equal Scary People (1988)
Equal Scary People was Sara Hickman's first full-length release, originally issued on Four Dots Records and re-released by Elektra in 1989. Has since been reissued on Sara's own label 'Sleeveless Records'.
The album showcases a mix of folk, pop, and quirky experimental touches, with Hickman's signature wit and emotional depth.
Critics praised it for its honest, irony-laced songwriting and compared her favourably to artists like Michelle Shocked and k.d. lang.
Standout tracks include:
“Simply” – a fan favorite for its lyrical vulnerability.
“500X (The Train Song)” – a rhythmic, poetic journey with layered instrumentation.
“Last Night Was a Big Rain” – evocative and atmospheric.
I absolutely love the use of a garden hose in the recording of James Brown's 'It's a Man's World', so atmospheric and clever.
