Okay so I kind of slept on Savages and the hype surrounding their debut LP Silence Yourself, therefore Shut Up is my overdue introduction to the UK outfit. The track broods heavily with a menacing bassline, compounded by guitar licks that threaten to blow it all wide open but only take us right to the very edge. It’s compelling stuff, but I’m guessing the single context is selling the song short. In that sense, it’s a worthy hook for those (such as myself) who are tardy to the Savages party.
