Hit: 4 Stars
I saw them on Conan one night and even though the singer was a bit flamboyant for my taste I really liked the song they played, patty lee. So I thought I'd check them out and I really like the cd, it stays consistently good all the way through. So I suggest picking it up.
Let's Stay Friends Poster
If there is such a thing as the "subtle anthem," then Les Savy Fav has perfected an intelligent, full-flail version of the art on Let's Stay Friends, their first wholly new album in six years. The delay was due to a massive case of writer's block, but you'd not guess it by the riches here. The way LSS mixes together so many elements of energetic alt-rock sounds from the 1990s continues to startle, and to evolve. Echoes of detuned, angular, post-punk firebrands such as Fugazi, the Ex, and Jawbox float about on most songs. But the group has clearly expanded its horizons and interests on this album, which features horns, dub elements, and stabbing vocal accompaniment by Eleanor Friedberger (the Fiery Furnaces). The cute, acoustic strum-heavy "Comes and Goes" has something of the hyper-literate anorak-indie sheen of the Wedding Present to it, while the heady "Brace Yourself" simmers and swaggers like a great, soulful Afghan Whigs number. A couple other songs sound like Spoon in their get-this-party-started phase. Needless to say, with the acute songwriting skills and croon-shouting of Tim Harrington, the group doesn't sound like anyone but themselves. Harrington's a great stylist, a true smarty-pants. Intense word play mixes with jokes that reveal themselves to be heavy truths, making Let's Stay Friends a contender for Les Savy Fav's best album yet. --Mike McGonigalSince forming in 1994, Les Savy Fav has grown into a band considered among the godfathers of the independent rock music scene, releasing three albums and a singles compilation that resulted in sales of over 1000,000 copies worldwide. Their constant success can be attributed to the overseeing of every aspect of their music including the release of it.
