Les Savy Fav release new single "Limo Scene"
NYC indie rock band Les Savy Fav has delivered another song from their highly anticipated album OUI, LSF today.
The track “Limo Scene” arrives with a music video directed by bassist Syd Butler, which can be seen below. Vocalist Tim Harrington said this about the new song:
“This song is the story of being abducted by the spirit of music past while out looking for the grave of Turner "Rocky" Wilson Jr. — Rocky was bassist for the doo-wop band The Rivingtons. He made up “Pappa-Oom-Mow-Mow” (1962) that the Trashmen took and uses for “Surfin Bird” (1963). It’s been copped, quoted, and reinvented ever since including the end of this song. You could call it a love letter to musical legacy, but f—k letter is more like it. It’s about how baby music gets made — an orgy of breeding ideas.”
Pre-orders for OUI, LSF, which arrives on May 10 via Frenchkiss/The Orchard, can be made here. This will be the follow-up to the band’s 2010 studio album Root for Ruin.
