Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Savoir Adore
Machines EP
Cantora Records
This follow-up to the New York-based quintet’s 2008 debut, The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in Her Throat, is the latest in a long line of artists releasing free download EPs to hype upcoming full-lengths. However, this three-song, 10-minute collection shouldn’t get lost in the crowd. Infectious-as-hamthrax melodies, deliciously varied instrumentation, and alternating boy/girl vocals from Paul Hammer and Deirdre Muro make Machines addictive, cavity-causing indie pop bliss. The opener, “We Talk Like Machines,” which will be included on the outfit’s sophomore full-length in August, is driven by a bouncy bass and guitar, chirping in unison, while Hammer and Muro’s wistful and ingenuous vocals create just the right bitttersweet balance. If this is an indication of where Savoir Adore is headed, the next album should be a treat. Check out the EP for yourself for free at the band’s website.
