A. Savage: Several Songs About Fire LP

"I imagine myself playing these songs in a small club that is slowly burning", says A. Savage of his second solo record, "Several Songs About Fire". After more than a decade in New York, the co-frontman of Parquet Courts has left the city, marking his exit with a masterpiece of maturity and a worthy corollary to his first solo venture, 2017's "Thawing Dawn". "Fire is something you have to escape from. This album is a burning building, and these songs are things I'd leave behind to save myself". Produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) in just ten days in Bristol and studded by the support of Cate Le Bon and Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting) as well as saxophonist Euan Hinshelwood (Cate Le Bon), drummer Dylan Hadley (White Fence), and violinist Magdalena McLean (caroline). Influenced by Siybille Baier and Townes Van Zandt, A. Savage joins a canon of songwriters constantly dilating aperture and perspective.
