Inches, Les Savy Fav
The culmination of a project eight years in the making, Les Savy Fav 's Inches gathers nine singles -- 18 tracks in all -- that the band began recording in 1996 and then released through nine different labels (including Sub Pop, Monitor, and Suicide Squeeze). Inches presents these singles in reverse chronological order, a clever and somewhat daring move; as the album plays, the band's sound unravels from the sleek, danceable art-punk of songs like "Meet Me in the Dollar Bin" to the rougher sounds...

With a frenzied live performance souped up by the unflappable theatrics of imposing frontman Tim Harrington (bearded, balding, and paunchy, an unlikely sex symbol), NYC indie rock band Les Savy Fav built up a fabled following in the late 1990s and early `00s. The band incorporates some of the jagged, pulsating insistence of Joy Division, the unbridled punk fire of the Stooges, and the spatial experimentation of Sonic Youth; it is all cut to shreds by Harrington's primal yet impossibly melodic interpretation...

Notes: Les Savy Fav: Tim Harrington, Gibb Slife, Patrick Mahoney, Seth Thonm Jabour, Syd Butler. Recorded at Rare Book Room, Brooklyn, New York. Les Savy Fav: Gibb Slife, Seth Thom Jabour, Tim Harrington, Patrick Mahoney, Syd Butler. Originally released in 1999, Les Savy Fav's debut was reissued on the band's own French Kiss label in 2006. In that seven years the band had grown considerably, both artistically and in terms of popularity, but 3/5 still packs a wicked punch. Teeming with the spirit...

A few albums into their career, les Savy Fav continue refining their idiosyncrasies and coming to realize their trademark sound. Past albums were often eclectic in terms of style, the band not sure if it wanted to head in more of a punk or emo direction -- or perhaps a hybrid of the two. If anything though, Go Forth is consistent in terms of style. Les Savy Fav have come to terms with who they want to be and explore that identity over the course of the album's 11 songs, which are similar in tone...

Les Savy Fav 's spectacular debut, 3/5 , opens with a spoken word track appropriately titled "Intro." While beginning a rock album with a speech is unusual enough, even more unusual is the fact that it is entirely in French. Although this is neither the first nor the last brush with the language on this record (which should, one supposes, come as little surprise considering the band adopted a French moniker), nowhere else on 3/5 does it seem as intrusive or alienating to the listener. By the album...

Despite ferociously gigantic and typically half-naked frontman Tim Harrington's best intentions, Les Savy Fav is missing some key ingredients -- primarily that one great album to stand up as an equal to the band's tremendous live show, something that proves the band members are more than high-energy, booze-infused spectacles. Of course, the joke's on us (shame!), because Les Savy Fav recorded such an album in 1997; we just haven't really been able to get our grubby little hands on it until now. ...

Rolling Stone (p.85) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Harrington] doesn't' disappoint here, with werewolf howls and party chants, plunging through political turmoil with his usual humor..."
