My review of Les Savy Fav's Let's Stay Friends ran today at ALARM. Surprise, it's a positive review. As I mentioned in my Liars review post a while back, there are very few "indie rock" bands that can hold my attention anymore. Les Savy Fav is one of them.

I'm glad that six years after Go Forth they managed to subtly modify their sound so that the growth and changes they've made as a band aren't jarring, they just kind of seep into the picture. "What Would Wolves Do?" in particular is a bit of a sonic leap for Les Savy Fav, and yet it seems like the kind of song that they've been playing all along.
