Matt & Kim, Stars and Grouplove are making significant waves, and it's never been a better time to release a duet (or, in P!nk and Nate Ruess's case, a screech-off). With schlumpy style and syrupy-sweet melodies in high demand, Brooklynite boy-girl duo Savoir Adore picked the ideal summer to release their latest collection of "fantasy rock" songs...

Here's a theory - pop albums are like parties, in that their success depends on their not going on for too long. Linger too late at even the best get-togethers and you can hit the tipping point where the atmosphere dies; similarly, an album can put a great deal of hard-won excitement in jeopardy by outstaying its welcome and running out of steam. So it is with Savoir Adore's second LP Our Nature, being released now on Nettwerk after being put out independently last October...

When sleep-disorder-afflicted comedian Mike Birbiglia speaks of his inability to wake up in the morning, he refers to "Sleepy Carl", a different person that enters his body and proves leaving bed nearly impossible with temptations like, "Why would you go out there when you could stay here and ride on a Ferris wheel made of pizza...

There are so many bands competing for attention in Brooklyn, you just have to be really good at songwriting, right? That's what "fantasy pop" duo Savoir Adore seems to be going for. Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer started their project by creating their own new set of fairy tales, but on Our Nature, their lyrics come back to earth while letting their music explore other worlds...

The Brooklyn synth-pop scene has, in recent years, come to rival that of the monumental Scandi-pop scene, pilfering liberally from the likes of Robyn and Lykke Li, while pouring just a smidgen of Billyberg jollop over it for the kids who need an added element of ironic cool with which to digest their pop. Savoir Adore are but another to emerge from such a scene, having already unleashed The Adventures of Mr...

There's been plenty of chatter about Brooklyn duo Deirdre Muro and Paul Hammer since the teacher-shags-student concept pop of their debut EP 'The Adventures of Mr Pumpernickel And The Girl With Animals In Her Throat'. Musically and lyrically brave, much of the listening pleasure lay in the bash-it-out ethos of the recordings. Just as charming and weirdly otherworldly, this debut proper reaches up to the higher branches with a more measured approach...

I'll admit (as I'm sure most would) that I am wont to judge people, and especially musicians, by their appearances. I find it hard to tell from a cursory glance at Savoir Adore's press shots whether it is their intention or not, but my first impression is that they are going to be just that little bit too cute or twee, my visual introduction being a photo of Paul Hammer bashfully gnawing on the fur-clad Deidre Muro's stetson...
