Several Songs About Fire

Celebrated visual artist and dynamic co-frontman of seminal punk band Parquet Courts, A. Savage announces his second solo album – and first for Rough Trade – with "Elvis in the Army", a tightly-wound return to form that places us in a subterranean venue where a livid cymbal raises the room’s blood pressure. A buzzing meditation on places present and past, the track showcases Savage's gifts as a lyricist, what album producer John Parish calls “an emotional openness guarded by a laconic wit.”
