Career
Paul Hammer is the son of Jan Hammer and Ivona Reich, and developed an interest in music at an early age. A multi-instrumentalist, he recorded his first album 19 with the help of his father in 2004.
Hammer met Muro during a song writing class at NYU. They challenged themselves "to write and record an EP in one weekend" that did not involve any acoustic instruments. One of the first experimental pieces they wrote together prompted the name Savoir Adore. After signing to the Cantora label, they released, The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in her throat EP, on May 6, 2008. Although the group recorded its unique work as a pair, the dual vocalists rounded out their sound in concert with a three-piece backup band. in 2009 they released a full-length debut album, In the Wooded Forest, that described as a mix of "electro-pop and indie-rock". It was supported by the singles "We Talk Like Machines" (May 2009) and "Bodies" (2010). In 2011 they released the single "Dreamers" through Neon Gold.
For their second album, the duo launched a Kickstarter campaign and self-released the album Our Nature in October 2012. The band signed with the Popular label in the UK and Nettwerk in North America, which saw Our Nature, receive a general release on June 4, 2013. Their single "Pop Goes The World" (a cover of the 1987 song by Men Without Hats) was released on February 22, 2012 and was featured on a commercial for Tide Pods. In 2013, Muro married David Perlick-Molinari of French Horn Rebellion.
After the tour in support of Our Nature, the Muro and Hammer partnership dissolved in 2014. Hammer decided to continue to project and collaborate with other vocalists. For the album he worked with Leah Hayes, Lauren Zettler and Winslow Bright. In August 2016 the band released The Love That Remains. In the first half of 2016 a new live-band was formed consisting of Hammer, Alex Foote (guitars), Ben Marshall (drums), Andrew Pertes (bass) and Lauren Zettler (vocals/keyboards). The release was preceded by the single "Giants".
