Our Take

SAVAGING SPIRES' self-titled debut album is a whimsical journey through a sonic landscape that feels like a cross between a psychedelic fairy tale and a futuristic disco party in a haunted house. The British duo's unique blend of dreamy vocals, haunting melodies, and experimental instrumentation creates an otherworldly atmosphere that is both intriguing and slightly disorienting.

Tracks like "Burning House, Fall" and "Trust" showcase the band's ability to craft intricate, multi-layered soundscapes that draw the listener in and keep them captivated until the very last note. The ethereal vocals of lead singer Nicholas Donovan effortlessly float over the pulsating rhythms and swirling synth lines, creating a sense of euphoria that is both mesmerising and slightly unsettling.

However, there are moments on the album where the experimentation feels a bit forced, and the band's desire to be avant-garde occasionally overshadows the quality of the songwriting. Songs like "Happy Friday" and "Remember the Steps" veer into the realm of indulgence, leaving the listener feeling slightly lost in a sea of meandering melodies and abstract textures.

Overall, SAVAGING SPIRES' debut album is a bold and ambitious statement from a band that is unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. While it may not always hit the mark, there is no denying the band's talent and creativity. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let SAVAGING SPIRES take you on a wild and unpredictable journey through their mesmerising sonic world.
