<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s always something special when an album drops on your desk, you nothing about the band, and then said record proceeds to blow your socks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a bow then Brooklyn based post punk rockers SAVAK for being the first band in quite some time to do just this for me. They are a band I admit I almost skipped over, but thank God I didn\u2019t, because \u2018Human Error \/ Human Delight\u2019 – the band\u2019s upcoming FIFTH (yup I know) album – is an absolute cracker from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018No Blues No Jazz\u2019 (which actually sounds like the record player rules in my house) kicks things off in fine style and with its\u2019 chanted refrain of \u201cNo counties, no countries, no pledge of allegiance,\u201d it could be a tribute to the fact that the dozen tracks contained on the album were recorded entirely over Zoom, although it\u2019s not, I\u2019ll leave you to go figure what it\u2019s actually all about by hitting video link below, where all will soon be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Influence wise \u2018Human Error \/ Human Delight\u2019 really is all over the place, and that\u2019s really what hooked me in, it also sets it well apart from the many other new \u201crawk\u201d records I could have chosen to review. Be it the melodic Alt-rock delights of perhaps the most immediate track on the album (the truly excellent) \u2018Empathy\u2019, or the jammed-out Krautrock meets Detroit in a sleazy Manchester back-alley post punk of \u2018Set Apart\u2019, there really is something here for pretty much everyone\u2026well everyone with an open musical mind that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
