Savages and Bo Ningen - Words to the Blind

Review by Marc Burrows

Two bands playing, not in opposition, but in perfect, complementing disharmony.»

Stolen Recordings and Pop Noire release a collaboration between Bo Ningen and Savages. The release is a recording of a piece originally performed in London last year which sees the bands take to the stage together and play simultaneously. 'Words To The Blind' comprises of one 37-minutes long track. Taking their cross fertilisation a step further, following occasional live appearances together and Savages' Jehnny Beth guesting on Bo Ningen's current album 'III', 'Words To The Blind' is an astonishing piece of work, a 'simultaneous sonic poem' inspired by the Dadaist concept of the 'Simultaneous Poem'.
