Brooklyn’s post-punk stalwarts SAVAK are excited to release their new single “American Vernacular”  and its accompanying video. The song is the latest track to be released from the band’s anticipated new album SQUAWK! (Ernest Jenning Record Co. / Peculiar Works Music) out May 30 (pre-order). 

On the song, the band’s Sohrab Habibion says,“‘American Vernacular’ takes a look at modern cowboy culture in America and how it continues to permeate the presentation of identity, how we communicate, and our politics.”

SAVAK is hitting the road this month and in June. The tour will include shows in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New York City, and more. The band will be joined by Lupo Citta, The Whimbrels, Andy Cohen, Faraquet, Bed Maker, The Gotobeds and Skull Practitioners on select dates. Upcoming shows are listed below and tickets on sale now.
