Adore Life [Audio CD] SAVAGES

Matador Records presents Savages? second album, Adore Life, recorded at RAK Studios, London in April 2015. Johnny Hostile was the producer and Richard Woodcraft the engineer. Anders Trentmøller took care of mixing in Copenhagen. Adore Life may be even more intense than the group's debut album, 2013's Silence Yourself. "We wanted to write the hardest, most extreme songs we could ever write," singer Jehnny Beth told Rolling Stone. The album?s lead single, ?The Answer?, which Stereogum called ?a huge and surging monster of a song with a titanic riff? was followed by T.I.W.Y.G., that Rolling Stone called ?vicious? and ?heavy.? On the accompanying video, the band says: We've observed our audience all around the world and noticed that something is happening. People want to be pushed to do good, or to be good, or just to feel good. We wanted a very intense video, that felt like banging your head against the wall, focusing on our audience: a portrait of our crowd, an homage to music lovers and the good people who are coming to gigs and shouting their lungs out, or just smiling at the back. We were touched by them every night, and wanted to get their message out there: loud guitar music is still alive and still connects people. All songs were written and played by Savages - Ay?e Hassan (bass), Fay Milton (drums), Gemma Thompson (guitar), Jehnny Beth (vocals). Lyrics by Jehnny Beth. ?Beth?s dark melodics profess the truth that ?love is the answer? while her band delivers a pummeling march like high-stepping through the thickest of mire. Gemma Thompson works both ends of her guitar?s neck with equal ferocity, at times beautifully sailing, at times heavily stomping.? - Consequence Of Sound ?It's aggressive and powerful; a teeth-bared, fists-clenched return.? - NME ?In terms of aggression, this reaches the teetering top of Savages? scale,? - DIY Artist & Album Information- It?s about change and the power to change. It?s about metamorphosis and evolution. It?s about sticking to your guns and toughing it out. It?s about now, not tomorrow. It?s about recognizing your potential. It?s about self-doubt and inaction. It?s about you. It?s about me. It?s about you and me and the others. It?s about the choices we make. It?s about finding the poetry and avoiding the cliché. It?s about being the solution, not the problem. It?s about showing weakness to be strong. It?s about digging through your dirt to look for diamonds. It's about claiming your right to think unacceptable thoughts. It?s about boredom and the things we do to drive it away. It?s about being on your own so you can be with people. It?s about knowing what it means to be human and what it might mean one day. It?s about the parts and the sum of the parts. It's about the music and the message: together, one and the same. It?s about bass, guitars, drums, and vocals. It?s about opening-out and never, ever dying. But most of all it?s about love, every kind of love. Love is the answer.
