Play Yr Heart Out is the latest album from post-punk legend and multiinstrumentalist Gareth Sager (The Pop Group, Rip Rig & Panic) - The album is
a collection of reinterpretations, featuring new versions of Sager's previous
tracks, highlighting his extensive career and the best of his avant-punk/funk
sound and fury
The album sees Gareth Sager on vocals, guitar, noise and production, joined by regular
collaborators Ian Holford (drums), Dan Connolly (bass) and Davy Henderson (vocals).
Gareth Sager is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer from Edinburgh and
the founding member of post-punk provocateurs The Pop Group, avant-garde jazz /
art pop collective Rip Rig & Panic and the unruly Bristol-rooted rock group Head. An
industrious collaborator and a prolifc solo artist in his own right, Sager has been an
unremittingly restless and versatile force in the post-punk era and beyond, throughout
a dynamic career of confounding originality.
As a vital presence, both in The Pop Group's original incarnation and in their
subsequent reformation, Sager remained a principal foundation in one of post-punk's
most relentlessly evolutionary and antagonistic groups. His uninhibited approach to
instrumentation as a lifelong pianist, guitarist, saxophonist and clarinettist as well as
his astute use of electronics helped inspirit the bands' momentous radicalism.
