SAVAK Release American Vernacular

While the earlier tunes from Savak have embraced a matured indie rock ethos, they branch out into the farther reaches of the genre with their latest single. From its start, the track almost feels more atmospheric than anything, taking these spaced out sounds to sort of wash over the room before the thundering gallop of the drums sneaks into the picture. Here you get to hear the guitars spring to life, winding their way through the maze of ambient echoes, creating a path that the vocals can follow as they, too, sneak in slowly; they’re more spoken than sung, letting the brimming of the burn spring to life a little. If you dig, keep your eyes out for Squawk, which drops next week via Ernest Jenning/Peculiar Works!

It feels like Savak should be a huge name in the indie scene, featuring members of the Obits and Holy Fuck, and with a smashing rock record in their pockets, you’d think they’d be all the rage. Alas, they’re brandishing a bit of an older indie sound, using a distorted rhythm guitar to set up this wonderful chorus that seems to rain down pop sensibility on the listener; I love how it feels like its sort of a last gasp at getting the track’s message across, showering me in its melody. This is the sort of rock n’ roll that as of late seems passe, which is unfortunate because they just don’t make crunchy rock n’ roll gems like this anymore. Their new record Squawk! is out via Ernest Jenning Record Co/Peculiar Works Music on May 30th.
