Pitchfork: Savath & Savalas Tour North America

Savath & Savalas Tour North America
But Starsky & Hutch bombs at the box office

Scott Herren could make a Scandinavian death metal album and you'd be all, "No, he's really taken it to the organic core of the burning Swedish church. Dude's on some next shit!" Seriously, you eat this man's work right up. I've seen ya slap on One Word Extinguisher at parties, trying to impress your gearhead friends with that annoying white-boy beat-box thing you do. And I know how you hover over the used vinyl bin in that record store down on 5th and Martin, looking for some prime material to "eff with", telling everyone there that you're working on the Delarosa and Asora revival with "Scott-Money." Oh, and how could I forget the time you beat that kid up because he said he didn't like the new Savath & Savalas? He was like, "Hey, where them beats 'n' shit? Dude's on some world shit!"

Well, friend, I hope you're ready to throw up with surprise, 'cause your boy's kicking off a U.S. tour tomorrow night in his original hometown of Atlanta, in support of Savath & Savalas' latest full-length, Apropa't. Herren will be bringing along three vocalists for the ride, including his star collaborator on the record, Eva Puyuelo Muns, as well as Domino Records songstress Juana Molina, and storied hip-hop backup vocalist Vinia Mojica. And it's not gonna be all samplers and turntables: Scott's gonna have pretty much his whole crew in tow, including the latest signee to his Eastern Developments label, Lori Scacco, John Philpot from Bear in Heaven, post-rock session bassist Josh Abrams, and Elvin "DJ Nobody" Estela.
