After some celebrated live performances, they released the double A side "Savages" in May 2012, followed by the live EP "I Am Here" in October. They released the first album "Silence Yourself" on May 6th, 2013 through Matador Records.
"The answer" promo video, was released on October 2015. It was announced that the 10-track second album, "Adore Life", would be released on January 22, 2016.
There is another artist with the same name:
2) Savages is an electronic musician from Hungary, born in 1981 in Balassagyarmat and currently living in Budapest. He had classic musical education and played on trumpet for about 7 years, and then he got his first PC.
It was a turning-point and from that moment he was much more interested in making music with computers. His early demo tapes were inspired by the rave era and after the end of this period he became ‘more’ serious and open-minded to other musical styles like jazz, funk, soul, contemporary, etc.
Savages released his solo debut album (Five Finger Discount) in 2008 through Chameleon Records. In the same year he met Suefo (also a member of Vono Box) and they started working together on tracks and remixes. Since then they did remixes for !DelaDap, [dunkelbunt], Max Pashm, Rube, Kid Loco, [re:jazz], Danilo Venturi to name a few. The two members came from the same eclectic music scene of Budapest. They play downtempo, breaks, jazz, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro swing and all kinds of multikulti folk in their dj sets and they incorporate the same variety in their own music as well. These days they’re busy working on some new remixes and organising new clubnights to promote electroswing phenomena in Hungary.
Husbands
Savages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know who he was, he had no eyes
His presence made me feel ill at ease
His presence made me feel, all ill at ease oh, oh
He sung the final hour, he sung the final hour
Of my sleep, of my sleep
God I wanna get rid of it
God I wanna get, get rid of it, yeah, yeah
Get rid of it
My house, my bed, my husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, oh
Was he staying here all along
When my eyes were closed and my mouth went numb
And does he know me very well?
When you talk in the dark will I see him again?
Will I see him again?
He sung the final hour, he sung the final hour
Of my sleep, of my sleep
God I wanna get rid of it
God I wanna get, get rid of it, yeah, yeah
Get rid of it
My house, my bed, my husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands
My room, my life
My husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands
The lyrics of Savages's "Husbands" are cryptic and eerie, leaving much to the listener's interpretation. It seems that the singer wakes up and sees the face of an unknown man who has no eyes. This encounter makes them feel ill at ease and seems to be related to their dreams or sleep since the man "sung the final hour of [their] sleep." Additionally, the singer seems to be tormented by the presence of "my husbands," which creates a sense of claustrophobia and unease.
The lyrics of "Husbands" can be interpreted in many different ways. One possible interpretation is that the song is about the fear of being trapped in a situation or relationship that feels suffocating. The idea that the man without eyes is singing the "final hour" of the singer's sleep could be seen as a metaphor for death or the end of a relationship. The repetition of the word "husbands" throughout the song could be interpreted as a way of emphasizing the singer's feeling of being trapped or overburdened by the expectations of others.
Overall, "Husbands" is an enigmatic and haunting song that leaves a lasting impression on the listener. Its lyrics, combined with the band's powerful instrumentation and frontwoman Jehnny Beth's commanding vocals, create a sense of unease and urgency that stays with the listener long after the song is over.
