Savoir Adore is a pop-rock group duo from Brooklyn, New York City, United States initially consisting of Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro. In 2014, Deidre Muro left the band while Hammer worked with a guest vocalist. Hammer began collaborating with Lauren Zettler shortly after, and she became a permanent member. As of June 2020 the band has released five albums, several EPs, numerous singles and a number of remixes albums. They also have done an international tour.
Paul Hammer is the son of Jan Hammer and Ivona Reich, [1] he developed an interest in music at an early age. [2] A multi-instrumentalist, he recorded his first album 19 in 2004 with the help of his father. [3] [4]
Hammer met Muro during a song writing club at New York University. [2] They challenged themselves "to write and record an EP in one weekend" that did not involve any acoustic instruments. [5] One of the first experimental pieces they wrote together prompted the name Savoir Adore. [6] After signing to the Cantora label, they released the EP The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in her throat on May 6, 2008. [7] [8] Although the group recorded its unique work as a pair, the dual vocalists rounded out their sound in concert with a three-piece backup band. in 2009 they released a full-length debut album, In the Wooded Forest, [9] [10] that described as a mix of "electro-pop and indie-rock". [11] It was supported by the singles "We Talk Like Machines" (May 2009) [12] and "Bodies" (2010). [13] [14] In 2011 they released the single "Dreamers" through Neon Gold. [15]
For their second album, the duo launched a Kickstarter campaign and self-released the album Our Nature in October 2012. [15] The band signed with the Popular label in the UK and Nettwerk in North America, which saw Our Nature, receive a general release on June 4, 2013. [16] Their single " Pop Goes the World" (a cover of the 1987 song by Men Without Hats) was released on February 22, 2012 and was featured on a commercial for Tide Pods. In 2013, Muro married David Perlick-Molinari of French Horn Rebellion. [17]
After the tour in support of Our Nature, the Muro and Hammer partnership dissolved in 2014. Hammer decided to continue to project and collaborate with other vocalists. [18] For the album he worked with Leah Hayes, [19] Lauren Zettler and Winslow Bright. [20] In August 2016 the band released The Love That Remains. [9] In the first half of 2016 a new live-band was formed consisting of Hammer, Alex Foote (guitars), Ben Marshall (drums), Andrew Pertes (bass) and Lauren Zettler (vocals/keyboards). [18] The release was preceded by the single "Giants". [21]

Their single Dreamers was featured as a soundtrack in Konami's video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2013. The group recognises the impact it has made on their popularity as Paul Hammer said "That's honestly such a huge part of what brought us down to South America and to Brazil" and "[Dreamers] is a song that did a lot for us. [...] We started travelling around the world, we got to play for a lot more people and we got our first bigger record deals which really did so much for us". [39]
