Revival is ripe in the air as Les Savy Fav shakes the indie rock scene, resurfacing after a 14-year hiatus with a new album that is the antithesis of today’s digitalized music climate. Their upcoming album titled ‘Oui, LSF’, set to drop on May 10th, includes the much-anticipated track ‘World Got Great’.

Eschewing the overused digital editing techniques, Les Savy Fav has embraced the basics. Simple materials like cardboard, crayons, and a basic phone became their tools of choice. The result is a video dripping with sincerity, crackling with the kind of charm that only hands-on creativity can bring.
The video features an array of DIY embellishments from a dollar store bubble machine to the inclusion of household pet fur – a testament to their down-to-earth approach.
