Savages announce new album ‘Adore Life’

Savages have confirmed plans to release their new album ‘Adore Life’ in early 2016.

The London-based four-piece will follow up their 2013 debut ‘Silence Yourself’ on 22nd January via Matador Records.

Having already teased their new album, using a Henry Rollins-narrated video trailer, the band have now confirmed further details of the release.

Produced by regular collaborator Johnny Hostile, the album was recorded at RAK Studios in West London, with aid from engineer Richard Woodcraft.

The announcement also comes alongside a statement that reads as follows: “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.”

There’s also a first taste of music from the record - the opening track ‘The Answer’, which comes complete with a a new video.

“We’ve observed our audience all around the world and noticed that something is happening,” the band have said of the clip. “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.”
