Riff: Savages – “T.I.W.Y.G.”

Nov 18, 2015

This is what you get when you mess with love

from T.I.W.Y.G. lyrics by Savages

Extending the conversation on love, Adore Life’s second utterance is another furious post-punk exercise in vulnerability, that like most Savages joints emerges in the end heaving all warrior like with a new sense of self-truth; like painting w/ one’s own blood. How Jehnny Beth keeps pulling it off whilst remaining so plainspoken is a testament to the buzzsaw magic these women have w/ one another.
