Editor's review
The French name is as precious as things get; LSF are one of the few New York indie bands that seem to mean it when they act mean. Back in English, it's muscled art-rock that may know enough to call its guitars "textured" but cares more about how loud they're turned up.
Biography
Has it really been that long?
Indeed, Brooklyn smart-punk four-piece Les Savy Fav hasn't released a record of all new material since 2001's laserbeam breakthrough, Go Forth. Of course, frontman Tim Harrington and company have been keeping plenty busy with singles, compilations, and loads of on-stage semi-nudity, so it?s not like we've missed them. But with the looming September 18th release of Let's Stay Friends, the Fav's latest Frenchkiss long-player, it's time to rejoice, because we?re about to be gifted with twelve BRAND NEW tunes.
To celebrate, the band has invited a host of guests along: Enon, Eleanor Friedberger of Fiery Furnaces, Islands' Nick Thorburn, Emily Haines of Metric, Black Heart Procession's Joe Plummer, and funny-man Fred Armisen. And, yes, for those of you who've been following closely, "Scotchguard the Credit Card" features voicemail vocals phoned in from actual Les Savy Fans after the band put out a request on their website earlier this year.
