about

Savage Mansion’s most exciting record yet – a set of 11 songs which better than ever capture the explosive live energy of a band whose best gig is always their next gig, rooted in a deep well of emotion, and the rigorously thought-through reasoning of writers thoroughly in love with their influences.

Formed as a vehicle for the effervescent, speak-sung, slice-of-life songs of guitarist and vocalist Craig Angus, Savage Mansion features long-standing members Andrew Macpherson (guitars), Jamie Dubber (bass) and Lewis Orr (drums and percussion) plus newest member Adam Forbes (keys). One of Lost Map’s most prolific bands, they released their debut album Revision Ballads on the label in 2019 (★★★★ – The Skinny), swiftly followed by 2020’s Weird Country (★★★★ – The Scotsman) and 2022’s Golden Mountain, Here I Come (★★★★ – The Scotsman). Savage Mansion have toured the UK, both as headliner and as support for artists including Pictish Trail and We Were Promised Jetpacks, and played at festivals including Electric Fields, Estrella Galicia Monkey Week in Sevilla, Tenement Trail and Lost Map’s Howlin’ Fling.

Recorded live to tape with minimal overdubs at Analogue Catalogue – the Newry, Northern Ireland analogue studio of producer Julie McLarnon (Lankum, Junior Brother, The Vaselines, Brigid Mae Power, Barbarossa) – Savage Mansion’s new album The Shakes is full of raw and instinctual playing, happy accidents embraced and not glossed over. It’s the end product of months of patient and painstaking groundwork, Craig working closely with co-songwriter Andrew Macpherson to shape and re-shape ideas, until they represented the best version of the band we’ve heard yet. “As part of the writing of this album I would cycle out to Paisley and just listen to music with Andrew,” says Craig. “We would get a bit high and put a few records on. The man has the most amazing record collection.

“There was,” Craig reflects, “a conscious effort to take a bit more care writing this album. To preserve the immediacy of an exciting idea, but envelope it in something more sophisticated and reflective.”
