SAVAGE REPUBLIC
Figures of considerable repute within the Los Angeles post-punk community of the 1980s,
Savage Republic grafted tribal percussion, industrial drones, and raga-like guitar lines together

Capable of both harsh dissonance and shimmering textures, Savage Republic's guiding
force was guitarist Bruce Licher, a founder and constant presence in their shuffling lineups

Their most accomplished and accessible work, largely jettisoning the harsher scrapings
of the early records for expansive instrumentals featuring chiming guitars and
occasional touches of ethereal trombone. Aiming for (and sometimes achieving)
a hypnotic drone, at their best these have a melancholy beauty, bringing raga-rock
into the post-punk age. The title track, unusually, features a female vocal from guest
singer Louise Bialik, as well as (relatively) conventional lyrics...(AllMusic)
