Several Songs About Fire releases on October 6th.
Andrew Savage of Parquet Courts fame has announced the release of his sophomore solo album.
Several Songs About Fire is scheduled for release on October 6th through venerated independent label Rough Trade Records and marks the follow-up to Savage’s 2017 solo debut Thawing Dawn. The album was recorded over a ten-day period in Bristol and features contributions from Cate Le Bon, Jack Cooper of Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting and Mazes, violinist Magdalena McLean of caroline, saxophonist Euan Hinshelwood and drummer Dylan Hadley.
Aligning with the album’s announcement today the New York singer-songwriter has shared his forthcoming project’s second preview entitled ‘Elvis in the Army’ and an international tour itinerary set to unfold in 2024. The newly announced tour schedule encompasses performances in the UK, Europe and USA with tickets for all dates available to purchase from Friday at 9am here.
Speaking of ‘Elvis in the Army’ Savage explains
“We often describe ourselves in geographic terms. American, New Yorker—two terms that I’ve used to identify myself that have to do with being from or of a certain place… So ‘Elvis in the Army’ is a bit of an inventory of those labels. They have less to do with geography than we realize. Really we’re just talking about ourselves, then framing certain characteristics geographically. No matter where I live I’ll have an American psyche until the day I die, for better or for worse. I’ll always be of America. And I can’t imagine a time where New York doesn’t feel like home. But despite that, I’d rather not be associated with a place, at least for now.”
