I can’t believe I’ve never talked about this guy before. Sean Nicholas Savage has been on my radar for a few years now. His first record Spread Free Like A Butterfly is a folk-pop gem, Mutual Feelings of Respect and Admiration is a strange and sexy disco master piece, and now there is Flamingo a mix of the two. Savage hails from Alberta but never seems to stay in one place long. An extended absence from the scene and possible reality prior to the recording of Mutual Feelings seemed to change Savages take on music writing. Although his distinct falsetto and frail vocal delivery never changes from record to record the song writing has improved ten fold in the last three years. A sort of Canadian Ariel Pink, Savage captures a sound that could easily have been something your parents slow danced to at before conceiving you on a dirty mattress in the mid 80′s.  Here are three tracks in order of release to enjoy.

Spread Free Like A Butterfly

Sean Nicholas Savage – Grandson

Mutual Feelings of Respect and Admiration

Sean Nicholas Savage – Misery Mountain

Flamingo

San Franciscos Terry Malts start this track sounding like a grade 10 cover band but what emerges is an infectious post-punk romp with one of the catchiest vocal melodies I’ve heard in awhile. “Bah Bah Bah Bah, tumble down…”
