If you're not familiar with the back-story of Savoir Adore, what began as a 48-hour challenge between two best friends blossomed into one of Brooklyn's most exciting and unique young bands.

With an experimental approach to their writing and recording, Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro weave a magical musical tapestry with their distinct voices, lush harmonies, and wild sonic palette. Somewhere between dream pop and adventure wave, their songs transport you to a world that is both foreign and warmly familiar. With the release of their debut album In The Wooded Forest behind them, Savoir Adore are continuing their musical adventures into uncharted territories.

With new songs and a captivating show that constantly evolves to accommodate their dynamic creative vision, the band will play SXSW in March and then head back into the studio to explore the unknown.

Two years after the release of their critically-acclaimed album Say Something, Brooklyn's indie pop quartet Via Audio releases their sophomore opus, Animalore, a melting pot collection of eccentric sounds- songs infused with fairy tales, folklore, science fiction, romance, seduction, and adventure.   
Via Audio was formed in 2003 in between classes at the infamous Berklee College of Music in Boston.  After releasing a self-titled EP on the small independent Kill Normal Records in 2004, the band first garnered attention when Death Cab for Cutie's guitarist Chris Walla dubbed them his "new favorite band," in his column for Under the Radar Magazine.   
They soon after caught the attention of Spoon drummer Jim Eno, who would become their longtime producer, collaborator and comrade.  With Eno's help behind the board, Via Audio released their first full-length, Say Something, in 2007 on California-based indie label Sidecho Records.  Pitchfork Media described Say Something as having "such a beautiful gloss over everything that it sticks, hurts, and feels delicious" and the album received accolades from Spin, Nylon, Under the Radar, Alternative Press, theTripwire, and Stereogum, among others.  The band has since toured the U.S. and Japan alongside the likes of Spoon, White Rabbits, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Ha Ha Tonka, and Modern Skirts, making appearances at the South By Southwest, Monolith, and CMJ festivals. 
Shutting themselves up again in Eno's Austin, Texas home studio in 2009, the group tackled their latest songbook- the lo-fi electronics of "Digital," the soul-infused funk of "Goldrush," the ethereal surf-lament of "Wanted," the glittery R&B pop of "Babies"- as Eno carefully and artfully crafted different sonic palettes for each unique song on Animalore.  The result is an album that plays like a pop-up book for adults, bursting with vivid colors and secret corridors at the turn of every page.
