Savoy Motel will tour Europe in October, a year on from the release of their self-titled debut album.
They start in the UK with London, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield dates, and then move on to mainland Europe where the tour ends in early November.
‘Their world is extraordinarily their own, a mismatch of eras and influences ripped, pasted and transported into modern era‘, Live4ever declared in our album review:
“In addition to the songs being interesting excursions in genres, the closet lo-fi recording techniques used are absolutely marvelous. There’s a bunch of weird sounds on here that make these mismatched pop songs all that more captivating. The opening drum fill on Western Version Boogie booms like a kit made out of cardboard as an arcade jangle-funk synth line jumbles over a harmonized guitar solo like a never-ending bag of Nintendo popcorn.”
“Elsewhere, the bass funk on Mindless Blues sounds as loose and as stretched as a rubber band. The assortment of sounds is like finding and fitting pieces from fifty different puzzles to make something that ends up sounding like the audio equivalent of Picasso’s The Weeping Woman. These are pop songs at heart, but they are warped and rearranged in imaginative manner.”
