A. Savage by Vince McClelland
A. Savage has also added a European tour for 2024.
A. Savage has confirmed the details of his second solo album Several Songs About Fire.
The Parquet Courts frontman will release the record on October 6th, and is previewing it now with the lead track Elvis In The Army.
“We often describe ourselves in geographic terms,” he’s said. “American, New Yorker — two terms that I’ve used to identify myself that have to do with being from or of a certain place.”
So Elvis In The Army is a bit of an inventory of those labels. They have less to do with geography than we realize. Really we’re just talking about ourselves, then framing certain characteristics geographically. No matter where I live I’ll have an American psyche until the day I die, for better or for worse. I’ll always be of America.
“And I can’t imagine a time where New York doesn’t feel like home. But despite that, I’d rather not be associated with a place, at least for now.”
