Gary Numan - Savage: Songs From A Broken World

Savage: Songs From A Broken World is the twenty first studio album by British synth-pop musician Gary Numan, released in September 2017 via BMG.

Gary Webb, better known professionally as Gary Numan is an English singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. He first entered the music industry as the lead singer of the new wave band Tubeway Army. Most widely known for his chart-topping hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and "Cars", Numan achieved his peak of mainstream popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but maintains a loyal cult following.

Numan, whose signature sound consists of heavy synthesizer hooks fed through guitar effects pedals, is considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music.

Savage is a concept album with a narrative that’s set in an apocalyptic, post-global warming Earth in the not-too-distant future.

There is no technology left and most of the planet has turned to a desolate desert wasteland. Food is scarce, water even more so and human kindness and decency are just a dim and distant memory.

Western and Eastern cultures have merged, more because of the need to simply survive than any feelings of greater tolerance or understanding. It’s a harsh, savage environment, as are the survivors who still roam across it.

Numan stated in an interview: "…The songs are about the things that people do in such a harsh and terrifying environment. It's about a desperate need to survive and they do awful things in order to do so, and some are haunted by what they've done. That desire to be forgiven, along with some discovered remnants of an old religious book, ultimately encourages religion to resurface, and it really goes downhill from there..."

The album debuted at #2 on the UK Albums chart, his highest charting album since Telekon (1980) and reached #154 on the US Billboard 200 and #76 on the Australian Albums chart.
