SAVAK’S INDIE POP, POST-PUNK SINGLE “CHILD’S POSE” VENTURES INTO ADULT THEMATIC TERRITORY WITH BALLS

SAVAK’s “Child’s Pose” barrels through a tangle of themes—dysfunctional relationships, toxic patterns, stunted maturity, and broad-stroke political disillusionment—with the chaotic energy of a band unafraid to throw it all into the fire. The Brooklyn trio—Sohrab Habibion, Michael Jaworski, and Matt Schulz—lean on longtime collaborators Matt Hunter and Jeff Gensterblum, while Travis Harrison’s mix keeps things sharp, loud, and immediate.

Musically, “Child’s Pose” is a jagged, noisy alt-rock burner with a driving rhythm and sneering, half-detached vocals that echo the song’s core frustration: a life that won’t stop spiraling. It’s abrasive, catchy, and slightly cynical—the kind of track that lands somewhere between discontent and defiance.

The video mirrors that tension. Set against a nondescript building and an open outdoor space, one band member swings a baseball bat and tosses a ball skyward—aimless, repetitive, maybe even meditative. By the time we’re in the batting cage, watching him take real swings, it clicks: it’s not about home runs. It’s about showing up, taking a shot, and finding purpose in the routine even when the world feels like it’s crumbling.
