Savak

Something of an indie rock supergroup, the prolific SAVAK feature past and present members of the Obits, Edsel, the Cops, and Holy F**k. Their sound is brawny indie rock that leans heavily on guitars, in particular on 2017's Cut-Ups, with horns and keyboards used to give the performances detail and texture on 2020's Rotting Teeth in the Horse's Mouth. SAVAK are also capable of giving their music a melodic undertow while still sounding wiry on the surface, a balance that dominated 2022's Human Error/Human Delight. 2024's Flavors of Paradise saw them embracing a poppier approach that didn't compromise their intelligence or their willingness to rock.
