Savoy Grand

Based in Nottingham, UK, SAVOY GRAND trade in extraordinarily sparse and fragile music, the sound of lives fractured and hearts broken. Over two albums they have built up a reputation for intimate detail, hushed voices and songs that seem to whisper in your ear but whose horizons are infinite. 2002's Burn The Furniture had all the hallmarks of a lost classic, employing dramatic dynamic shifts, string quartets and subtle electronics against which Graham Langley's understated vocals were able to impress a sense of longing and loss. People And What They Want, its follow up, continues in the same vein, peeling back the layers even further to expose the skeletal figures of the songs within.

Despite their deceptively bleak nature, there is something curiously uplifting about SAVOY GRAND, as though a problem shared is a problem halved. Theirs is a music that moves in slow motion, slipping almost imperceptibly from black & white to Technicolor. Haunting stuff. Fans of bands like Low, Codeine, Red House Painters and late Talk Talk will be enraptured.
