London post-punk four-piece Savages, who have proved to be a major force on stage, finally channeled that power into a debut album, Silence Yourself, which came out today (5/7) via Matador. It captures their live energy well, and the record’s reminiscent of the Interpol-led post-punk revival of the early ’00s in that it really shines new light on ’80s post-punk without blindly aping it, and it’s sure to be a gateway to that era for many young new fans. You can stream it HERE and pick it up at the Matador webstore.

Savages are on a European tour this month, and they’ll continue to support the new album with more North American dates in July surrounding their appearance at Pitchfork Festival. Those dates include a NYC show happening on July 11 at Webster Hall. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (5/10) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (5/8) at noon. Savages return to North America in the fall for ACL. All tour dates are listed below.

Savages are also taking part in a Creators Project show on Thursday (5/9) which will stream live on the Creators Project YouTube channel. The show also features sets by Johnny Hostile (who is one half of John and Jehn with Savages singer Jehnny Beth), Changeover and Curfew. It airs at 4:15 PM EDT and Savages are on at 5:00 PM EDT.

All dates are listed, along with the video for “Shut Up,” below…
