Freakster indie-darlings Les Savy Fav are stepping up their game. Long-time residents of Frenchkiss Records, the label founded and managed by LSF bassist Syd Butler, their new album will still be released on Frenchkiss but will be distributed by Sony BMG. The album, Let's Stay Friends was produced by Chris Zane and includes guest appearances from Emily Haines (Metric), Eleanor Freidberger (Fiery Furnaces), Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse), Nicholas Thorburn (Islands, Unicorns), Fred Armisen, Andrew Reuland, and members of Enon. The album will be released on Frenchkiss September 18th. Another big change for Les Savy Fav is their decision to hit the road again. The band hasn't toured the last few years, choosing instead to play one-off gigs and local shows, especially at the McCarren pool in NYC. But that's about to change when they head to Europe in October after a string of NYC shows. Word is that they will tour extensively at the end of this year.Jump to Billboard for more info.Don't miss Sturgell's MOG post about how to create a video for Les Savy Fav's "The Equestrian" and possibly win a trophy + $1000!!Les Savy Fav music$pace
