LES SAVY FAV – LET’S GET OUT OF HERE (FRENCHKISS/WICHITA RECORDINGS)


LES SAVY FAV – LET’S GET OUT OF HERE (FRENCHKISS/WICHITA RECORDINGS)

It is truly heartening how Les Savy Fav have managed to maintain a high degree of quality output throughout their career and with “Let’s Get Out Of Here” the upbeat, exhilarating groove remains motioning forward.

This is a playful glide that serves to inhabit the full set of emotions involved in the pursuit of fun, passion and delight.  There is nothing weird about this song.  As it advances the pace increases at a subtle and aching rate until the deal is all but done and the suggestion/decision is made to escape the situation and environment housed.

There’s a blasting sincerity to this exhaustive exchange.  Within it the hook is huge and tangible as the sentiments are in the style of a victor.  We are witnessing love.

This is a single that does not outstay its welcome and thus proves perfect in what it’s aiming to accomplish, which is a basic outline of what the band is about at this precise moment in time.  Les Savy Fav is at the top of their game.  More people than ever know them, more people than ever love them.  Tim Harrington might be frightening when he is shirtless and rubbing up against you in a sweaty gig situation but here is a man dedicated to creating some of the most vibrant minutes in modern rock music.  There are three and a third of them here.

These minutes pass like ships in the night.

Thesaurus moment: abscond.
