Stay Friends with Les Savy Fav

Art-punk quartet Les Savy Fav has scored the best reviews of their ten-year-plus career for their latest album Let's Be Friends. Truth be told, we never really paid attention to the band until this release, probably because the term "art-punk" is a mite too pretentious for our tastes. Whatever the case, the angular new album totally does it for us, from the heady statement of intent on opening track "Pots and Pans" to the slickly melodic guitar work of "Patty Lee" (above). Says Rhapsody: "Aggressively passionate but also fearlessly experimental, Les Savy Fav somehow manages to incorporate a post-punk aesthetic even when it seems like they might venture down a methed-out electronica lane." The band is well-known for its intense live shows, with frantic frontman Tim Harrington providing a great deal of the spastic energy and wildman antics, as well as the gratuitous nudity. Sexxxy.
