Savages is about change and the power to change. About metamorphosis and evolution. About staying true to one's foundations and strengthening them. Living in the present, not in the future."
Two years after ‘Silence Yourself’, their debut album released in 2012 which caused a sensation on the indie rock scene, the Franco-English quartet Savages has evolved considerably and is preparing to conquer the world with their second album 'Adore Life'. Recorded at RAK Studios in London in April 2015, this new opus was produced by a formidable trio: Johnny Hostile on production (John & Jehn, Lescop, etc.), Richard Woodcraft (Radiohead, Neil Young, Grinderman, Arctic Monkeys…) on sound, and Danish DJ/composer Anders Trentmöller on mixing.
The band's incredible live performance at Route du Rock 2015 heralded a new album that was raw, dark, and intense, and 'Adore Life' does not disappoint. From the very first track and electrifying single ‘The Answer’, the band's fierce eagerness to fight is evident and spreads like an incandescent trail of gunpowder throughout the album. Listen to ‘Evil’, ‘Something New’, and ‘T.I.W.Y.G’ to be convinced: Savages is ready to overturn everything in its path. This urgency also gives rise to luminous moments, such as on the magnificent ‘Adore’.
‘Adore Life’: “a bass, a guitar, drums, and a voice. To open up and never, ever die.” The recipe for a great album!
