Saville new album Nostalgia
Out Now!
“Magnificent – Album of the Week” **** - RTE Guide
‘One of the Best Albums of the Year – No Question” **** Irish Times
“A Triumph” **** - Hotpress
‘Perfect Pop’ **** – The Irish Independent
“An endless supply of super-taut melodies and glistening Hooks” **** - Metro
“Songs this good demand the attention of the widest possible audience” - George Byrne (Herald)
“Delivers Magnificently – a new high in their artistic vision” – Eamonn Carr (Herald)
“Highly intelligent melodic pop” – News of the World
Nostalgia is the follow-up to Saville’s highly-acclaimed album Somnambular Ballads and is well worth the long wait! Reviews of that album were glowing and included comments such as ‘pure pop heaven’ and ‘these soul-boy Dubs are one of Ireland’s best bands’, and the thirteen tracks on Nostalgia have raised the bar even higher and garnered no fewer than four stars from any of the critics! A lead single from the album, ‘Symphony of Sound’ is currently enjoying quality airplay – the single is an ode to Dublin city and is full of Joycean references – as the RTE Guide puts it, “the band’s very own ‘pocket-sized Ulysses’ which in its ambitious scope aims to capture the sounds and sights of Dublin in one day and succeeds admirably”. The Evening Herald’s Eamonn Carr stated that he had ‘found his Desert Island disc in the 4.44 minutes of total listenability” of Symphony of Sound.
Also available: "Is Anybody Happier Today?" on the bands own label, BDB records (2000), and "Somnambular Ballads"(Reekus) 2003.
