Written on the way back from a road-trip celebrating their coming of age, “SLOW” is the debut EP of duo Lucas Mokrani and Claire Lengaigne. Linked by the spirit of evasion and spiritual elevation, these songs find their roots from the band's time into the wild. An introspection of the world, a quest for this moment of transcendence, dancing and chanting over minimal and elegant production. A poetic journey laying out the base of what’s to come from SAAVAN.

"We've written this film and this music as a way for us to evocate this bittersweet feeling of coming back to our hometown, visiting old friends in places rooted in the past, remembering why we left in the first place but still feeling linked to this land that made us, always and forever." S.

Another Road

SAAVAN - When I Fall
Written and produced by Lucas Mokrani & Claire Lengaigne
Master by Sebasten Lorho

When I Fall

This track began as a tribute to Alt-J. We listened to their music on repeat when they release "An Awesome Wave" ten years ago, it was the beginning of Saavan, and we still listen to them today. The track then drifts towards a more unexpected Drum and Bass rhythm. Tellus what you think of it :)

The Glade

This track was written as a kind of lullaby, starting from a simple melody on the keyboard completed by simple vocals. It was then extended into what it is now. We hope this lighter one will take you on a sweet introspective journey. Let us know how it makes you feel in the comments :)

Terrified

Voices

My whole life to the great light
Been walking day and night 
If I'm losing then I'm losing right for I...
I won't go down 
I won't slow down 
('Til I'm done and feel like home)

If I know inside that yours
Is not a road that I would love
Then I won't go your way your way
Then I won't go your way you know
 
I'm following sparks I'm yours
But I'm on this side of the pond
and I won't go your way your way
and I won't go your way your know

I'm walkin on my own on a sunday night
and I smoke another joint for my fear is fire
To be sad and lonely sad and lonely
To be sad and lonely

And I count the times that 
I could have been the one
This a waste of mind 
I won't be sad and lonely sad and lonely 
Won't be sad and lonely

Falling with pride
You keep it up you
Falling with pride
You make it your way your way 
Your way your way

I hear it all calling inside
Calling inside
My demons ain't dead
No way no way no way

They're crawling inside, oh 
They're crawling inside, oh 
But I know how to hold'em in 
I know I do lead the way.

Something's been calling my whole life 
To the great light
Been walking day and night 
If I'm losing then I'm losing right for I...
I won't go down 
I won't slow down 
('Til I'm done and feel like home)

If I know inside that yours
Is not a road that I would love
Then I won't go your way your way
Then I won't go your way you know

[ LYRICS ]

born 
from the same fire
sparks raised
by the same sire 
mayfly lights
prepared to shine 
into the night 
we dive
Flown
by the same wind 
Heading 
to the other shore 
mayfly lights
prepared to shine 
into the night 
we dive
fearing nothing 
we fly 
going forth 
but why

[ LYRICS ]

Hey now 
I don't wanna grow old 
Don't know how I
Could escape and go 
to a place where 
you don't get too close
from what I'm scared of
I don't wanna go home
Hey I
Don't wanna get low 
they fade out
seem to be so slow
Hey now 
I don't wanna grow old 
Don't know how I
Could escape and go

[LYRICS]

I'm on 
the mess I've cause 

But yours 
is not my concern 
 
So let go
I'm not  the chosen one 

to be the king of a messed up land

I know 
the pain I cause 

they know 
how to make it glow

I let go
I'm not the chosen one

I'm not the king of this messed  up land


They want 
a simple plan 

But our world is a freakin' mess

I too
want to understand

I'm not the king of this messed  up land

[LYRICS]

Down the hole
the preacher's hide 	
afraid of his feelings

It's all about 
the fears we have 

Smoky soul 
driftin in 
an ocean and sinking

It's all about
the surface now

Go slow 
Watch your mind 
It won't be easy 
I think You can reach it

Go slow 
hopes don't die 
won't leave you in here 
won't leave you in here 

Go slow 
Watch your mind 
It won't be easy 
I think You can reach it

On the road 
by my side 
never start pleading

It's all about 
the fears we have 

Dreamers hope,
dreamers fly, 
others get leaded

It's all about
the surface now

Young Minds

Lucas Mokrani & Claire Lengaigne met during some holidays at a mutual friend’s place in the mountains a quickly started to work on some demos together. The ambivalence, between one’s rage and the other’s softness, is what makes Saavan’s sound : atmospheric layers of soft sounds meeting deconstructed rythms and strong bass. Saavan’s work seems to be heading toward one goal : creating the soundtrack of our memories. After two EP's and the release of their first album on Yotanka Records in 2022 : CHAPTERS, they've decided to change things up. In order to release  music more often,  and to stop worrying about which song could fit in a bigger project,  they came up with a new challenge : one song every three weeks, for a year. "WHEN I FALL" the second of the series, is out now!
