Andrew Savage Debuts Iconic Fugues With Folk-Rock Single ‘2025 Dream/2025 Blues’

Andrew Savage, the frontman of Parquet Courts, has officially debuted a new musical project titled Iconic Fugues. The band released its first single, “2025 Dream/2025 Blues,” on October 8, 2026, marking a stylistic and geographic shift for the artist following his recent solo work.

The debut track is a six-minute folk-rock composition that functions as two distinct songs fused into a single recording. Lyrically, the piece explores themes of awakening from a dream state into a reality shaped by escalating consequences and harsh grievances. This structure allows the “Dream” and “Blues” segments to act as a dialogue between subconscious reflection and the weight of current events.

The debut single '' functions as two distinct songs fused into one six-minute track.

The formation of Iconic Fugues follows Savage’s permanent relocation to Marseille, France. His experience as an immigrant in the Mediterranean port city serves as a thematic backdrop for the project, providing a different perspective than his previous New York-centric work. This move to France occurred after the release of his 2023 solo album, Several Songs About Fire, and signals a more collaborative approach to his songwriting.

Joining Savage in this new venture is drummer Dylan Hadley, a member of the duo Kamikaze Palm Tree who previously performed in Cate Le Bon’s touring band. While early social media discussions among fans led to speculation regarding Le Bon’s direct involvement in the group, the project is officially established as a partnership between Savage and Hadley.

The release of “2025 Dream/2025 Blues” marks the first new material from Savage since his transition to the Marseille music scene. While no specific details regarding a full-length album or a tour have been confirmed, the single establishes the band’s identity as a departure from the high-energy post-punk sound of Parquet Courts in favor of a more expansive folk-rock aesthetic.
