Le Savy Fav are a five-piece collective from NYC who are recommendable by the intensity and energy, particularly on stage. The band consists of Tim Harrington on vocals, Seth Jabour and Andrew Reuland on guitars, Syd Butler on bass and Harrison Haynes behind the drums. Together they deliver an electric mix of well-composed, upbeat mayhem.
In this eleven-track collection, the noise maintains integral consistency as well as fragments of punkish sprints. The opening track "Appetites" is explosive as Harrington spits a barrage of words into the record. "Let's Get Out Of Here" stomps like a group of lads embarking on a bar crawl and provides an irresistable singalong chorus. The final track "Clear Spirits" boils the album into its apex with enormous beats and roaring guitar takes, projecting a remarkable studio achievement on behalf of each band member. A must listen.
