Brooklyn’s post-punk stalwarts SAVAK are excited to announce their new album SQUAWK! out May 30 on Ernest Jenning Recording Co. / Peculiar Works Music (pre-order). The band is also sharing their new single “No Man’s Island” and its accompanying music video, which was directed by Rob Kassabian.

About the song video, the band’s Michael Jaworski says:

“We were listening to the playback of this song in the studio when turned to Sohrab and said ‘I don’t think I’ve ever written a song before that so accurately depicts how I feel in my life.’ So what the heck does that mean? While there is some ‘abstract expression’ here to be sure, it’s ultimately a song about feeling frustrated in a world where it seems personal gain and status are valued over human compassion and elevating the common good. A song of feeling left behind, but as a conscious choice of resistance against the self-absorbed narcissism and greed of the current times.

And, like most of my songs, it was absolutely influenced by sessions with my therapist, asshole neighbors, concerns about climate change and just wanting to feel something real and meaningful in life. There’s even a reference to a joke told in ‘The Last of Us’ for anyone wanting to go super deep. So I guess one could say this is a song about my search for enlightenment in the coming end times, while trying to determine if it’s better to be on your own island or the one where everyone else is.”
From the desk of Will Fitzpatrick, 39th* bass player for The Rock Group SAVAK
