Savoir Faire

With a voice straight out of the jazz age, Savoir Faire brings the modern existential crisis into a realm of retro-noir. Born to an American mother and an Iranian father, Savoir Faire was absorbing the influences of everything from classic 60s rock to Persian pop at an early age. She would go on to study jazz guitar in university, performing as a jazz guitarist and lounge singer before adding the last few ingredients that would form the aesthetic of Savoir Faire: lush and syrupy vocals, biting lyricism, and searing guitar parts that float between the genres of jazz, rock, and chamber pop. The result is a Lynchian rumination on the present in the debut album Hopeless Nostalgic, combining wistful nostalgia and modern rage to answer the question "What if a torch singer had a Riot Grrl heart?"
