press release - The Moving Air



‘The Moving Air’/’Millions of People’ is the double A Side debut single by Nottingham’s Savoy grand, who have subsequently gone on to record 2 albums for the German label, Glitterhouse. Being purveyors of slow, minimalist, fragile, emotional and highly inventive pop, has drawn comparisons with the likes of Smog and Low, which, though suffering the limitations inherent in any such comparison, serve as a reasonable benchmark.

However, the influences of Savoy Grand’s varied backgrounds - which include jazz and classical - pervade their musical style, and are perhaps no more apparent than in ‘The Moving Air’, which features a string quartet, no less.

"Strings creep in, and a man who routinely pens lines as fine as 'Hold the line/Help me out of a lifelong dive/Headlong into what might have been' begins a study on yearning, regret and dismay. The cruel trick of hope is exposed. A cello emits a stately groan of hope. It's all quite devastating. Single of the week, if it weren't all so damn sunny" [Kitty Empire, NME]

"Desperately sparse, emotionally primed... theirs is a high-quality melancholy, devoid of maudlin whining" [Victoria Segal, NME]
