Recorded live to tape with minimal overdubs at Analogue Catalogue – the Newry, Northern Ireland analogue studio of producer Julie McLarnon – Savage Mansion’s new album The Shakes is full of raw and instinctual playing, happy accidents embraced and not glossed over. It’s the end product of months of patient and painstaking groundwork, Craig working closely with co-songwriter Andrew Macpherson to shape and re-shape ideas, until they represented the best version of the band we’ve heard yet.
“There was,” Craig reflects, “a conscious effort to take a bit more care writing this album. To preserve the immediacy of an exciting idea, but envelope it in something more sophisticated and reflective.”
The band’s garage rock origins are far from discarded, but the band draw upon the rakish grooves of Sly and the Family Stone, Stereolab’s playfulness and the dueling guitars of The Byrds on this, their most expansive - and best - LP.
