Red Ryder Entertainment

Even in a scene as vibrant as that which currently percolates in Brooklyn, Savoir Adore's dense, lush slant on pop stands alone. A self-coined "fantasy rock" duo, Savoir Adore released an EP, The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in Her Throat, in 2008 after signing to the Cantora label -- home of likeminded neo-psychedelic group MGMT. Although the group records as a pair (Paul Hammer, Deidre Muro), the dual vocalists round out their live sound with a three-piece backing band. Well-received by notoriously fickle New York music press, Savoir Adore have drawn favorable comparisons to Postal Service, Broken Social Scene and Phoenix. The band released their full-length debut, In the Wooded Forest, in late 2009. In advance of a two week run through the UK, the "Bodies" single dropped on May 18, and includes two remixes (French Horn Rebellion, Midnight Magic) as well as a self-directed music video.
