Audio/Video: Savages’ Jehnny Beth Has a Message of Strength – ‘Don’t Let the Fuckers Get You Down’

Savages are an important British band with a killer post-punk sound.

I’ve featured many video clips of Savages over the past seven months

Today I’ve got their trailer for their new single, “Fuckers” / “Dream Baby Dream.”

It’s worth watching and hearing. Savages’ Jehnny Beth has plenty to say, and given the stage of things in the world right now, her message has never been more timely.

“Fuckers” from a performance in Barcelona at the Primavera Sound Festival, June 1, 2013:

The album was produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney.

In a press release Patrick Carney of the Black Keys said: “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record—not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either. On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We’re excited for the world to hear Turn Blue.

Listen: Röyksopp Perfectly Encapsulate 2013 in Retro Single, ‘Twenty Thirteen’

Given the crazed attempts by Republicans to take us back to the Stone Age through legislative attacks on women, immigrants, the poor, the middle class, the environment, and I could go on, the Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp seem to have captured the mood of doom in their new single, “Twenty Thirteen.”

They describe the track as a “swinging summary of 2013 A.D.”

Thanks Consequence of Sound!
