Savages Confirm Debut Album, Stream New Track

Just when we were beginning to think that Savages had gone a little too quiet, they go and announce their debut album.

The rather powerfully titled ‘Silence Yourself’ is set to be released on 6th May through Matador Records/ Pop Noire.

In a statement, the band said that; ‘SAVAGES is not trying to give you something you didn’t have already, it is calling within yourself something you buried ages ago, it is an attempt to reveal and reconnect your PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL self and give you the urge to experience your life differently, your girlfriends, your husbands, your jobs, your erotic life and the place music occupies in your life. Because we must teach ourselves new ways of POSITIVE MANIPULATIONS, music and words are aiming to strike like lightning, like a punch in the face, a determination to understand the WILL and DESIRES of the self.

This album is to be played loud in the foreground.”

That’s us told.

The record contains new recordings of ‘Husbands’, ‘I Am Here’ and ‘City’s Full’, and will be available to preorder from iTunes from midnight tonight (Tuesday), and anyone who does so will immediately receive a download of new track, ‘She Will’.

If you can’t wait even a few hours more, you can hear it in all its glory right here, right now.
