Savages share two previously unreleased songs on 10th anniversary of Adore Life

This month is the 10th anniversary of Savages‘ outstanding sophomore (and to date last) album, Adore Life. And to mark the occasion, the British post-punk group has shared two previously unreleased tracks recorded around the time they made the album, “Prayer” and a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.” Hear them both below.

The band released a statement about the anniversary:

Celebrating 10 years of ‘Adore Life,’ we’re sharing with you two unreleased songs that never made it onto the albums. We left them exactly as they were – no retakes, no remixing. What you’ll hear is precisely how they were first recorded. To us, they feel like snapshots of a moment in time, and while we’ve never been ones to dwell too much on nostalgia we felt these songs offered a fresh perspective on the band, or at the very least – a gentle reminder of its magic. Enjoy the music and video. It is our gift to you.

Happy Birthday to ‘Adore Life.’ What a record. What a time.

– Ayse, Fay, Gemma & Jehnny
