Savages are "going to take a break" in 2017
Savages are set to go on hiatus to focus on individual projects, frontwoman Jehnny Beth tells Loud & Quiet in a new interview.
“We’re going to take a break from Savages because we haven’t taken a break between the two records at all - we took a month, I remember,” Beth says.
Although Savages might be temporarily going their separate ways, they've still got plans for 2017. Beth kept quiet on the details of various "other projects", but says that solo material might be on the cards.
“I have collaboration I have lined up, really cool stuff, which I can’t talk about now but some are going to be revealed in January,” Beth says. “I think it’s going to be for me, collaborating with new people. I’ve kept writing a lot so I’ve got a lot of songs right now that I don’t know what I’m going to do with yet. They’re for something else, not Savages. Pursuing the collaborations where people have reached out and want to work with me, that’s what’s going to happen. I’m very excited.”
What the other members are up to is still shrouded in mystery, but bassist Ayşe Hassan has been slowly unveiling her project with Kendra Frost, Kite Base.
As for Beth's secret collab? Well she's teamed with The Strokes' Julian Casablancas and Danish producer Trentemøller recently - maybe there's more coming?
