Savages are going to “take a break” to pursue “other projects”

Following the release of this year’s triumphant ‘Adore Life’, Savages look set to take a break in 2017.

In a new interview with Loud & Quiet, while discussing the success of her Beats 1 show and the importance of keeping discipline within the band, vocalist Jehnny Beth said: “We’re going to take a break from Savages because we haven’t taken a break between the two records at all - we took a month, I remember.”

While adding that each member would be pursuing “other projects”, she implied that she’ll be releasing solo work in 2017. “I have collaboration I have lined up, really cool stuff, which I can’t talk about now but some are going to be revealed in January,” she said. “So I think it’s going to be for me, collaborating with new people. I’ve kept writing a lot so I’ve got a lot of songs right now that I don’t know what I’m going to do with yet. They’re for something else, not Savages. Pursuing the collaborations where people have reached out and want to work with me, that’s what’s going to happen. I’m very excited.”
