Keep Holding On / You're The Best

Miles Away Records are proud to present our latest release Keep Holding On / You're The Best by Savoir-Flair.

Dallas, Texas in 1982, during the hot summer months Roger Boykin, John Miller and Cassandra Wright were working as session musicians at Precision Audio studios. They were put together to create soundtracks, jingles and idents for US TV commercials and, in what spare studio time the three of them had, would experiment with the studio equipment at their disposal - writing and developing what would become the Savoir-Flair sound.

In these secret, after-hours sessions the three would create a staggeringly good private press 80s modern soul album. A flawless collection of tracks with every one of them hitting hard. It would be released on Roger's own label SoulTex Records with the group touring locally. Alas though, this was to be their only album as Savoir-Flair disbanded a year later. The impact this album had however can still be felt today with the 45 and LP becoming highly sought after amongst modern soul collectors around the world.

Brooklyn’s Savoir Adore are Paul Hammer (vocals & guitar), Deidre Muro (vocals & keys), Tim McCoy (drums), Gary Atturio (bass) and Alex Foote (guitar).

The band’s releases to date have surveyed the world at a distance. ‘Our Nature’ zooms in, putting our inner landscapes and relationships at the core of every track.

The recordings themselves are intentionally more crisp, aurally expansive and intriguing. Lead single ‘Regalia’ is an utterly sunshine-filled headphones moment - combing gorgeous dreamscape synths with tropical yet tribal percussion, and of course the irresistible pop hooks Savoir Adore are best known for.

For fans of Broken Social Scene, Los Campesinos! and The Postal Service.

The band’s music has also been featured in numerous TV commercials, including Almay, Citi and Yoplait, plus TV shows including ‘Pretty Little Liars’, ‘Drop Dead Diva’ and ‘Huge’, and video games including ‘Kinect Adventurer’.
