Sean Nicholas Savage's best album to date, Bermuda Waterfall, is out May 12 on Arbutus, the Canadian singer's tenth full-length since 2008. To celebrate the release of his new record, Sean made this mix in the back of a tiny rental car on a hazy Sunday morning drive from Boston to New York (a weekend trip documented for Dazed's new issue). Heavy on folksy dream-pop from the '70s, his mixtape A Savage World somehow manages to seamlessly draws lines from Dave Loggins to Radiohead to Janet Jackson, sewing in Michael Martin Murphy's twangy '75 hit "Wildfire" and '80s Brit rock group Prefab Sprout along the way. Much like Sean's music, the mix shows how soft radio pop sounds can take an all-the-more surreal shape when re-contextualized or twisted in certain ways.
