Savath & Savalas

Started in 1998, Savath & Savalas was created as way for left-field producer Scott Herren (best known for his work as Prefuse 73) to explore his more instrumental and acoustic tendencies. His first full-length, Folk Songs For Trains, Trees And Honey, an experimental, glitchy affair, came out in 2000, followed by the EP Rolls And Waves in 2002, and the much folkier Apropa't -- which featured vocals from Catalan singer Eva Puyuelo, who Herren met when spending time in Spain -- in 2004. In 2007 Golden Pollen, which included songs on which only the producer/instrumentalist sang, as well as appearances from artists like Mia Doi Todd and Jose Gonzalez, was released. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
