Fans who have been soaking up Sean Nicholas Savage's cover of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" and that recent tribute album are about to hear a whole lot more from their hero. The eccentric Montreal songwriter has just announced a new album, Other Life, due out April 30 on Arbutus Records.
A press release describes the 12-track collection like this: "In the songs of Other Life he loses his men, his women, and the shadows of a place he has never quite been. This album is a mirror that will never break, held far above us all, constant as the sky, saying: 'Change. I will do nothing for you.' Somewhere far below is the jaw of the man forever lost and forever losing himself — Savage — dancing with you through chattering teeth."
The tracklist is below and the album cover is above. The smooth, R&B-flavoured single "Lonely Woman" is streaming at the bottom of the page.
Also below is Savage's extensive international tour schedule. It includes shows with Doldrums, Mac DeMarco, Blue Hawaii, Melody's Echo Chamber and Bleached, and there are a number of Canadian stops.
