SAVAK — Flavors of Paradise (Peculiar Works)

The song “Up with the Sun” jangles and tumbles, guitars splaying out in rainbow chords, drums rumbling in continuous pummeling rolls, voices joined in harmonies — think R.E.M. early on or the Sadies in a not-so-country psychedelic mode. “Two Lamps” by contrast lurches along on clawed bass, stopping and starting in dank post-punk style, like E the band or FACS. Both songs raise a joyful clangor, but they are fundamentally different.

That’s because SAVAK is a band of post-punk lifers, headed by two songwriters with distinct styles. Sohrab Habibion comes from DC’s post-hardcore underground. He’s played in Edsel and the late, much lamented Obits. It is likely from him, a man of Iranian heritage, that the band took its name, which it shares with the Shah’s dreaded secret service. Michael Jaworski, by contrast, was born in Omaha, came of age in Seattle’s post-grunge underground where he fronted The Cops and Virgin Islands. The trio’s third permanent member is Matt Schulz, who played drums for Holy Fuck and Enon. Each of them has decades of experience. None of them have much left to prove. Flavors of Paradise is the sound of three guys locking in on the sounds that please them. If you like it, fine. If you don’t, it’s your loss (but really, why don’t you like it?).

The band’s egalitarian practice has been to alternate songs—one of Jaworski’s lush psychedelics, then one of Habibion’s jagged off-kilter anthems. And so we fall under the spell of the sspiraling, ruminative “Will Get Fooled Again” for a little bit (nice nod to the Who’s trippy power chorded aesthetic) and then head for the bristling propulsion and rough shouted energy of “Jump into the Night.” But look, here’s the thing. These guys have been playing together long enough that, even the headiest psychedelic jangle has a hard, rhythmic core, and even the bumpiest post-punk salvo culminates in shimmering guitar overload.  Two different sensibilities don’t exactly merge, but make room for each other, adapt to each other, and emerge all the stronger.

And in the end, what difference does it make who wrote what and who’s singing? These are tight, well-constructed punk rock songs, played with joy for the love of the game. Flavors of Paradise, for sure, if your idea of heaven has sticky floors and piles of amps.
