The best songs of the week

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.
