SAVOY are a very successful Norwegian rock band fronted by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, the main songwriter and guitarist for the legendary group A-HA! The reissue of "Lackluster Me", specially remastered by Joe Lambert to capture a previously unheard crispness and dynamic range, marks the first time it has appeared on vinyl and digitally. Lackluster Me was released in October 1997, 18 months after their debut "Mary Is Coming". The period between the albums had seen Savoy play live in Norway and achieve massive success with the single “Velvet”. With Lackluster Me, Savoy declared they were in for the long haul and that this was a band in its own right. Savoy is indeed a very different band than A-ha, which is alternative rock with a more organic and timeless sound. But it still has perfect pop moments like the excellent “You Should’ve Told Me” and "Rain".
