Chap The production's tastefully nice, and holy cow that's a hot band there. I don't know who's playing but check out the rhythm section on "A Common Tern" while the guitar skitters nicely over it and a synth pops up in the back--and that grand romantic swell in and then back out. Savage's voice goes down to the androgynous like Buckley's went up; her sound is glorious and it was a lovely choice to record her voice dry.
The lyrics on this one grab my attention as well, evoking an age and place. Favorite track: A Common Tern.

andydabadger Like many my introduction to Anna (not) Bernard Savage was courtesy of the inimitable Marc Riley. I fell in love with her unique delivery of these beautiful lyrics and, after her amazing session on Marc's show, could no longer resist the urge to own a copy. Thank you Anna and thank you Marc. Favorite track: Corncrakes.

Asher The first time I heard this album all the way through, I immediately started it again. Astounding songwriting. AOTY 2021. Favorite track: Two.

about

The debut album of London based singer-songwriter Anna B Savage. Her 2015 EP was deeply intriguing and quickly drew the attention of Father John Misty and later Jenny Hval, both of whom brought Savage out on European tours.
Anna B Savage’s first full-length record „A Common Turn" is question mark music. Her songs are heavy with unanswered queries, with dilemmas and insecurities, or often just with wondering.
Savage’s voice is endlessly warm, but producer William Doyle’ (East India Youth) consistently finds the iron in it. Even the darkest moments in this music don’t stick in their devastation, though – Savage’s fire burns too brightly. Her voice can drop to a whisper, but then it will open all the way up in a flash flood of cavernous guitar, echoes, and swelling strings that expand and then vanish just as suddenly as they arrived.

Savage’s music is deeply vulnerable, without being submissive. She lays claim to her own fragility, and the stories she tells are of taking up space, finding connections, and owning the power in not knowing all the answers. Hers are songs for anyone who thinks hard, feels deeply, and asks big questions.

„A Common Turn“ presents us a nest of fully-formed and room-filling artistry.

Dynamic, emotional, and extremely varied instrumentation. The strong themes of anxiety about the future and fear of stagnation, mediocrity, and and ignorance in a rapidly changing world really hit home. Fantastic on all fronts and an absolute 10/10 by my standards. I’m so excited to hear what they do next. rango_lucilfer
