Brooklyn’s Savants is the living proof that it is possible to play a slacking variety of rock’n’roll without sounding like Pavement or Dinosaur Jr. – hurrah! We are particularly fond of the quartet’s recent single ‘Sneak E. Gardner’ (streaming below), part of a split 7" with Californian label mates Tomorrow Tulips. The track’s minimalist approach and rustic production conjure up an atmonsphere that’s at once intense and playful, but always extremely musical. Savant will be celebrating the release of a new 7" tomorrow (April 26th) at Cape House, with other deserving locals Sam Kogon and Toyzanne, and Philadelphia’s Needle Points.
