“Husbands makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality.” – […]
Tuesday’s Tune: Husbands
“Husbands makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality.” – The Guardian
I thought this quote was a beautiful way of celebrating the idea of marrying the influential singers and songwriters with the newer and modern versions. It won’t be the first time this has been said but Savages’ song Husbands reminds me of Patti Smith’s Horses. That same passion and conviction on delivery is prevalent in both, and it is intoxicating.
The London-based post-punk revival rock band Savages not only come with a force that is of another era, they are also lead by the most engaging front girl: Frenchy gal Jehnny Beth, (real name: Camille Berthomier). Big girl crush.
Enjoy!
