Between their much-buzzed-about set at the Pitchfork Music Festival on Saturday and their sold-out show at the Triple Rock Social Club last night, excitement over Savages is at an all time high. And for good reason: The London quartet bring a rare intensity and seriousness to their live shows, and their muscular precision has a magnetic effect.

The band stopped by the Current studios this morning to perform three songs off of their much-lauded debut, Silence Yourself, and chat with host Mark Wheat about their recent popularity in the U.S. The interview took an insightful turn, too, as the band discussed everything from choreography to an artist's ability to influence culture with Wheat. And fans will be happy to learn that Savages are just as fierce performing in the morning at a studio as they are inside a dark, packed club.

Savages return to Minneapolis on Tuesday, September 17, to play First Avenue.

Songs Played: "City's Full," "She Will," and "Husbands".
