Savoir Adore
Lush, storybook synth-pop with shimmering male-female harmonies. It feels like a sun-drenched afternoon in a secret garden. Perfect for golden hour dreaming.

Savoir Adore emerged from the late-2000s Brooklyn indie scene as a unique 'fantasy pop' project, founded by Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro following a spontaneous 48-hour recording session. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of dual-vocal harmonies, shimmering synth textures, and a narrative lyrical approach that often incorporates elements of magical realism and nature imagery.
While initially associated with the experimental folk-pop wave, they evolved into a more polished synth-pop and indie-disco outfit without losing their whimsical core. The departure of Muro in 2014 marked a transition point, leading Hammer to collaborate with Lauren Zettler, which maintained the band's signature vocal interplay while leaning into more sophisticated, hi-fi production. Critically, they are praised for their ability to balance commercial accessibility with artful, imaginative arrangements. Their influence web connects the danceable indie-pop of the early 2010s with the more atmospheric dream-pop of the modern era, occupying a space similar to contemporaries who prioritize melody and texture over grit.
