The Altered Hours
Saviours
A standout from the Cork rock band’s debut.
With their sound firmly shrouded in guitar haze, the Cork-based five piece’s debut album leaves no doubt about their influences of alt-guitar rock of the late ’80s and early ’90s incorporating My Bloody Valentine-style atmospherics, shoegaze histrionics and stoner psychedelic rock dynamics.
Saviours’ slow and crystalline piano intro adds new shade to the band’s dirge rock.
