Sávila’s Debut Album Uses a Diverse Backbone of Latin Rhythms to Serve a Greater Purpose
Based on just two recorded songs and the strength of their performances, Sávila have played opening spots for local legends like the Thermals as well as national names like Deerhoof and, earlier this year, placed at the top of WW’s Best New Band poll. Until now, their reputation has been built on their spell-inducing live shows. That makes the release of their album a high-stakes benchmark—it’s not easy to transfer something so delicate and experiential onstage into a recording.
