Whozyerman?

Originally introduced to audiences as a member of the Waterford-via-Cork outfit O Emperor, the band
emerged as one of Ireland’s most distinctive musical outfits of the 2010’s. During an 8 year period the group
released three critically lauded albums which garnered Choice Music Prize nominations and culminated in awin for their final 2018 release Jason.

As a solo artist, Savage ventured into bold new sonic territory with his 2022 debut album Blink. The album,
inspired by the peculiarities of time and place with forward-pushing kosmische tones, drew comparisons to
Air, Stereolab and Broadcast — all while maintaining Savage’s signature artistry. The album was warmly
received earning a place among The Thin Air Top 20 Releases of 2022.

In 2024, he shifted his creative process and returning to a band format he embarked on crafting new material,showcasing a broader dynamic range and harmonic textures. Recording sessions at Black Mountain Studios in Dundalk during the summer of 2024 yielded tracks that reflect this evolution.
A pivotal change in his process was Savage’s embrace of the piano, a development that has profoundly shaped his new compositions. The tracks are imbued with a surging vibrancy and a newfound focus, the work of an artist rejuvenated by creative discovery.

The first fruits of this new material will be the release of single Miles away on April 2nd - with the
announcement of a new album coming later this year.
