Les Savy Fav
Having met in 1995 while attending art college in Rhode Island, Tim Harrington (vocals), Seth Jabber (guitar), Syd Butler (bass) and Gibb Slife (guitar) got together to form Les Savy Fav out of their additional musical interests in Nation of Ulysses, Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbox, among others. Two years of gigging around the East Coast ensued before Sub-Pop took a shine and released their appropriately titled "SubPop7," followed by their first full-length 3/5 that same year on Self Starter Foundation Records. Following the recrui...[more]

New album of Les Savy's brand of idiosyncratic pop with songs that are deceptively simple and deceptively complex. Previous releases on Self-Starter, DeSoto, and Sub Pop. "If the Pixies had been obsessive fans of Boston's earlier art-punk heroes Mission of Burma, they might have sounded like Les Savy Fav." ~Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Five energetic tracks, 17 energetic minutes. The second release for Southern sees Les Savy using only one guitarist, and it's a more minimal, experimental, but no less rocking and unhinged record from these Brooklyn boys.

A few albums into their career, Les Savy Fav continue refining their idiosyncrasies and coming to realize their trademark sound. Past albums were often eclectic in terms of style, the band not sure if it wanted to head in more of a punk or emo direction -- or perhaps a hybrid of the two. If anything though, Go Forth is consistent in terms of style. Les Savy Fav have come to terms with who they want to be and explore that identity over the course of the album's 11 songs, which are similar in t [ read more ]

The culmination of a project eight years in the making, Les Savy Fav's Inches gathers nine singles -- 18 tracks in all -- that the band began recording in 1996 and then released through nine different labels (including Sub Pop, Monitor, and Suicide Squeeze). Inches presents these singles in reverse chronological order, a clever and somewhat daring move; as the album plays, the band's sound unravels from the sleek, danceable art-punk of songs like "Meet Me in the Dollar Bin" to the ro [ read more ]

REISSUE!!! Despite ferociously gigantic and typically half-naked frontman Tim Harrington's best intentions, Les Savy Fav is missing some key ingredients -- primarily that one great album to stand up as an equal to the band's tremendous live show, something that proves the band members are more than high-energy, booze-infused spectacles. Of course, the joke's on us (shame!), because Les Savy Fav recorded such an album in 1997; we just haven't really been able to get our grubby little hands on it until now. - [ read more ]
