Almost out of necessity, Les Savy Fav’s sixth LP was born in a pocket reality: singer Tim Harrington’s Brooklyn attic. “A freaky barn,” as he calls it, the room was built over the ruins of black mold and plywood, a de facto studio. Different from anywhere they’d ever recorded, the space allowed for a much-needed rebirth for the long-running post-hardcore band. In that in-between, they pieced together what would become their latest evolution, OUI, LSF, growing the album’s title and cover art out of a patch of grass.

He is known for his agile lyricism, unpolished yet luminously resonant recordings, and a gritty baritone that balances cool detachment with profound emotional undercurrents.

After a string of cassette releases, the band focused its vision on their highly praised 12” debut, Two Years (2020; Maple Death Records), a pivotal period during which band-member Josh Boguski’s role solidified as primary collaborator and producer.

From within the precariously soundproofed walls of their inconspicuous makeshift arthouse they meticulously craft their sound; dedicating themselves to the whole craft from recording, producing and releasing their records, to screenprinting their merch.
