 Les Savy Fav (Music)
comment
Formed in 1995 in Providence, Rhode Island at the Rhode Island School of Design (where acts like Lightning Bolt, Talking Heads, and Fang Island also originated from), Les Savy Fav began as Noise Rock/Punk band before becoming a hybrid between Noise Rock and Math Rock. After a hiatus in mid-2005 following the release Inches, they released Let's Stay Friends in 2007. In 2010, they released Root for Ruin. Their music has been featured in Grand Theft Auto IV (Raging in the Plague Age), MLB 2K7 (Hold Onto Your Genre), and True Blood (Let's Get Out of Here).

Genre Shift
 Les Savy Fav (Music) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: between The Cat and the Cobra and Rome: Upside Down, guitarist Gibb Slife and drummer Pat Mahoney left (the latter being replaced with Harrison Haynes). This change in the line-up corresponded with a change in sound, drifting away from abrasive Noise Punk to a more idiosyncratic, but accessible sound that could be described as Noise Pop.

Minimalistic Cover Art: on the other side of album cover spectrum is Inches, which consists of two cubes (purple and yellow) on a blue background.

Portmantitle: "Adoptduction" is a portmanteau of "abduction" and "adoption" - the premise of the song is that the narrator dreamt that they were kidnapped as a child, but their parents haggled so much over ransom that the kidnappers effectively ended up raising them.

Meaningful Name: averted by the band's name. It seems like it's French, but it really means nothing.

Almighty Janitor: Syd Butler may be the bassist, but he is also the founder/owner of Frenchkiss Records, the label that Les Ssavy Fav is currently signed to.

Mood Whiplash: both Harrington's vocals and the track-by-track movement of each album have this feeling.
