Less than a year after putting out Other Death, Montreal retro pop troubadour Sean Nicholas Savage is back with a brand new project. But Magnificent Fist isn't just a surprise release; it's got a new format too. The project's nine velvety tracks are presented as "bespoke" videos. Savage's vocals are more polished than ever but, according to a statement on his website, the visuals are intentionally vague: "[I] wanted to have visuals for every song immediately, and that the visuals left much to the imagination. [T]here is boredom and silence in them, and lucky me those videos are more fun to make...I put out the happy takes, full of mistakes."
Stream the record above via YouTube. And, true to the lo-fi, DIY ethos of his label, Arbutus Records, you can also buy Magnificent Fist in cassette form.
