Brooklyn’s SAVAK have announced their sixth album, Flavors of Paradise, which will be out March 1 via Peculiar Works / Ernest Jenning Record Co. The band recorded it in a marathon three-day session at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studios in Chicago with Matthew Barnhart behind the boards.
The urgency of the sessions definitely translates to first single “Leash Biter,” which mixes pop hooks and simmering post-punk tension. You can listen to that below.
SAVAK will be on tour for the new album and will warm up with a couple Brooklyn shows: February 20 at Union Pool with J. Robbins, which is part of the venue’s Free Tuesdays series. They’ve also got a release show at Union Pool on March 7 with Kilynn Lunsford and Blank Account that’s just ahead of dates in Philly and DC. The band have also plotted an 11-date tour of France in April. All dates are listed below.
