Savage
Sister became one of my favorite bands in 2013.
I don’t really think that is a secret to anyone who reads what I write,
nor should it really be. If you like a
band, you should tell the world about them because we have far too much crap in
popular music and I’d like to see a day where Grammys were won by bands that I’d
actually owned the albums for, but alas, it will probably never happen in my
lifetime.
Yes,
we live in a world that is a popularity contest over actual talent and the idea
of not just following the mold and crowd appeal, but what can you really
do? We are a society of sheep with only
a few wolves mixed in.
Where
was I going with this? I wish I
remembered.
So
these are four new songs from Savage Sister, though the first is short and
closer to an intro and the second song “Naked” was released prior to this EP as
a lead-in single. So you kind of only
get two new songs on this EP, but it’s still better than most of what else was
released in January and might even come out throughout the rest of the year.
I’ve
always thought of Savage Sister as being sort of the quintessential dream pop
band. This is not a bad thing, it is
merely a point that I typically would ask myself if something sounded like Savage
Sister if I wondered if it was dream pop.
These
songs are dreamy, sure, but they don’t have as much of the pop to them that
previous Savage Sister songs do. I can
assume that this is the Lykanthea influence and as such this has now made me want
to further explore their music.
So
this has taken an existing sound and put a new twist on it that is just
awesome, plus allowed me to discover a band I may not have otherwise known about. Is there anything Savage Sister cannot
do? Are there really any more reasons
you need to be listening to this??
