Sean Nicholas Savage

An entire community has developed around Montreal indie guru Sean Nicholas Savage, even as he’s remained out of the limelight; his acolytes include Mac DeMarco and Majical Cloudz. The cover of Savage’s latest, Other Life, depicts two Sean Nicholas Savages, one peering out from behind the other like a shadow. The ideas of a fractured self and the blurring of reality and illusion are reflected throughout the album, from the lyrical themes to Savage’s use of cheesy, simplistic adult-contemporary instrumentation as a medium to convey poignant and fairly devastating sentiments.
