3/5

Les Savy Fav

Jagged, angular art-punk from 1997. Nervous guitars and dry, rhythmic tension define this debut's abstract and restless energy.

It's like a math-rock band tried to write a punk record in a cold Brooklyn basement.

A twitchy, intellectual restlessness that feels both guarded and explosive.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The French spoken-word introduction that creates a surreal, polite barrier before the jagged guitars arrive.
The rhythmic collapse and sudden disco-inflected urgency during the final minutes of False Starts.
The way the bass line in Scout's Honor anchors a vocal performance that feels like it's unraveling in real time.
