Savages the all-female British band from the UK are releasing their debut album Silence Yourself this May 7 via Matador. The band shared the first track from the album, “She Will.” It’s tough to ignore the Joy Division similarities, with a twinge of post-punk urgency. Savages have a big sound that they contain in a way. As we heard on tracks like “Husbands”, they can create devastating effects when they let loose.
In addition to the song, the band released this interesting manifesto in their press release:
AVAGES 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.
