After a 14-year hiatus, Les Savy Fav have burst back onto the music scene with a bang, dropping their latest track "Legendary Tippers" along with an eccentric music video that captures the essence of the band's unique energy.

The song, released under Frenchkiss Records, is a vibrant party anthem infused with the signature Laissez-faire swagger that fans have come to love.

The track's lyrics oscillate between sophistication and carefree revelry, perfectly complemented by the music's offhanded virtuosity.

Talking about the guitar work Lead singer Tim Harrington said:

“The guitars have this offhanded virtuoso thing going. Seth had stacked all of these semi-improvised scratch tracks into a demo. When I got them, I was immediately drawn to the manic pile-up of using them all, all at once, with zero edits. It's like if the solo from 'Taxman' wolfed down a bottle of Adderall."

While "Legendary Tippers" might seem like an unexpected choice for a comeback, it encapsulates the raw, electrifying essence of Les Savy Fav's live performances—a dynamic that's notoriously difficult to capture in studio recordings.

In addition to their triumphant return to the airwaves, Les Savy Fav is set to grace stages across London, Dublin, and various festival venues, including a highly anticipated appearance at Primavera in May.

Les Savy Fav's journey over the past decade has been marked by personal and professional growth, with band members pursuing diverse ventures outside of music. However, their shared history and enduring friendship have laid the groundwork for their triumphant return to the spotlight.

As Harrington reflects:

"The band was never a job, so we can’t get fired and don’t have to quit. We had the time to figure out how to bring the people we’ve become and the people we are as artists together authentically. There’s a chaotic, untethered ecstasy at the center of the band’s universe. Squaring that with the desire to create stability and the need to endure some grind isn’t easy."

This freedom has allowed them to organically evolve as artists while staying true to their distinctive sound and ethos. The past decade has seen Les Savy Fav continue to push boundaries and explore new musical territories, culminating in their latest release—a testament to their enduring creativity and unwavering passion for their craft.

Stay tuned for more updates from Les Savy Fav as they embark on this exciting new chapter in their storied career. Cheers to another decade of boundary-pushing music and unforgettable performances!
