Holy shit, it's great to have Les Savy Fav back. And not just back — back better than ever. On Let's Stay Friends, they've taken the promise of the original tracks on the Inches singles collection and positively obliterated expectations. The pop is poppier, the rock is rockier and Tim Harrington has never sounded more confident. From the drum roll...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) March 7, 2011 3:49 pm
Les Savy Fav's really cool clip for "Let's Get Out Of Here," from last year's Root For Ruin, features a young man on a skateboard being projected as a ghostly image onto the sides of buildings, fences, trees and other scenery. It all seems to zip by at a pace much faster than your average skateboard. (Which means it was proooooooobably filmed in a...

Song Of The Day: Les Savy Fav's "Let's Get Out Of Here"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 29, 2010 12:25 pm
You can almost picture Tim Harrington flailing his sweaty, bearded self around on stage to "Let's Get Out Of Here." As loose as Harrington is live, Les Savy Fav are extremely tight on record and during performance, and nowhere is that more clear than on this piece.

In the three years since, they've produced nothing and have only gotten more popular. But now they're back with Let's Stay Friends, a record that...
