Monday, 24 September 2007Les Savy Fav - what would wolves do on Wichita records Les Savy Fav What would wolves do? / The year before the year 2000 Wichita 9/24/07 Limited to 500 copies .. Les Savy Fav is one of those bands you have to get to know, if you haven't already. If you know them, you like them, you will be waiting for the local record store to open, or call and reserve a copy. For those of you that might be debating about this single or the new album Let's be Friends for that matter...I am urging you to pick it up, especially if you're on the fence about this band. I know how it is with certain music...maybe a friend liked them a little too much, maybe you missed any number of their amazing live shows they have put on in their last 10 years of touring. They have been around forever so you have had plenty of chances, well this is a perfect time to pretend they are that new hot flavor of the month band. Pronounce their name a little differently, 'oh lessavy favre, that's a different band'...wasabi 5, whatever you need to do, not that this is a new sound, not at all. They aren't 'happy to cash in' as their website proclaims. This still has the same focused build a song around a crazy sound or canned distorted beat, and somehow come out great on the other side, really testing themselves, without alienating the audience. They can easily be at home playing a punk rock basement or an uptown museum. The crossover comes from not inventing themselves around a sound, but existing right through it. I keep hearing about 'They're back from a 6 year hiatus...' You know what they were doing for 6 years? Releasing 9 seven inches! We know...the seven inch followers know les savy fav, we already had the inches album before it was all digitized and repackaged. They didn't stop there either, tour singles keep popping up, and now this? Of course What would wolves do? is a strong contender for best track, but the B-side won't be available anywhere else, and it won't be better off left off the album. This is all quality. The new album/single is a perfect example of where a good producer can help capture those moments of magic of when everything kicks in with Tim Harrington really laying into you, he's not yelling, just loudly going to convince the hell out of you. Like it's just his thing to really be scarily convincing singing right into your ears, but it's not all business, you will yell along and rush the stage to grab a piece of his garbage bag dress.
