Savages already shared “The Answer” from their upcoming album Adore Life and now they put out another track from it, “T.I.W.Y.G.” Like the last song, it’s still dark driving rock but it’s not sounding like an exact retread of their first album either. Here’s what the band says about it, via press release:

It’s about change and the power to change. It’s about metamorphosis and evolution. It’s about sticking to your guns and toughing it out. It’s about now, not tomorrow. It’s about recognizing your potential. It’s about self-doubt and inaction. It’s about you. It’s about me. It’s about you and me and the others. It’s about the choices we make. It’s about finding the poetry and avoiding the cliché. It’s about being the solution, not the problem. It’s about showing weakness to be strong. It’s about digging through your dirt to look for diamonds. It’s about claiming your right to think unacceptable thoughts. It’s about boredom and the things we do to drive it away. It’s about being on your own so you can be with people. It’s about knowing what it means to be human and what it might mean one day. It’s about the parts and the sum of the parts. It’s about the music and the message: together, one and the same. It’s about bass, guitars, drums, and vocals. It’s about opening-out and never, ever dying. But most of all it’s about love, every kind of love. Love is the answer.

The album comes out January 22 via Matador. Listen to the new song below.

Savages’ tour hits NYC for a BV-presented show on March 28 at Irving Plaza (tickets) and on March 29 at Warsaw (tickets). All dates below.
