Limited edition custom hardcover booklet vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Hanni El Khatib's first idea for his Savage Times project was to do something he'd never done before. Instead, he ended up doing... well, everything he'd never done before. He'd be playing new instruments, writing in unfamiliar new ways, opening himself up to an unrelenting stream of ideas and dedicating himself totally to pure musical instinct. And the result? 19 best-of-the-sessions songs. Originally, he'd hoped to explode the lingering idea that he was simply a blues-rock guitar player, but that's why Savage Times touches on everything from garage rock to punk to disco, hip-hop and even some unexpected solo-guitar self-portraiture. But on the way, he also exploded his own idea of what he could do - even maybe who he was, or would be. Savage Times was an experiment as well as an experience, that touched on some of the most personal, social and political elements to date. Baby's Ok, Gonna Die Alone, Born Brown, Paralyzed, Miracle, Mangos ; Rice, Come Down, No Way, Mondo and His Makeup, Gun Clap Hero, Black Constellation, So Dusty, Till Your Rose Comes Home, Hold Me Back, Savage Times, 1Am, Peep Show, This I Know, Freak Freely
