Former SANTA MONICA COLLEGE Non-Commercial KCRW/SANTA MONICA-LOS ANGELES PD GARY ROBERT SCOTT has launched a new project with bassist JERRY FLANAGAN. The new group SAVAGE ANIMALS released their debut single, “Playthings,” on FRIDAY (1/27).
SCOTT currently runs a successful podcast production company and, at the request of FLANAGAN, got serious about writing music while in the confines of the pandemic.
"Writing for me was a way to stay in touch with the outside world. My first album was all outburst - I had all this stuff stored up inside and had to give it a voice. But I was unsure of the proper format to put it in,” SCOTT said. “SAVAGE ANIMALS is me finding my form. Form lets the listener know how to let the melody and lyrics inside so they make the song their own.”
SCOTT and FLANAGAN will release their self-titled album, SAVAGE ANIMALS, later this year. Songs on the deal with second chances, self sabotage, and the death of SCOTT’s childhood friend.
