Listen: Sean Nicolas Savage - "Empire"
With icy synths and a bass line seemingly swiped from Blood Orange’s twitching fingertips, “Empire” is another tantalising offcut from Bermuda Waterfall, the forthcoming record from the deliriously talented mind of Sean Nicholas Savage.
While it’s difficult to ignore the track’s lingering cheesiness (yep, he’s actually comparing the breakdown of a relationship to the disintegration of an empire), Savage makes it work admirably; his hushed vocal stitching pop sensibilities with slick production in gorgeous fashion.
Pulsating with a remarkable groove, it appears far more comfortable on the dance floor than previous material, and all the better for it. Our hips are certainly swaying.
Bermuda Waterfall is out on 13 May via Arbutus Records.
