In 1996, before we had put out any records, Les Savy Fav had begun Inches. We designed Inches' cover art and broke it into nine parts to be released as related singles. Since then we have been writing and recording specifically for this project and releasing singles with nine different lables. All of the songs included were carefully chosen to work in sets of twos as 7"s, and also to relate to each other in the form of Inches. To those who have been getting the 7"s as they have become available- we hope you have enjoyed collecting and completing the project with us. To those who don't collect 7"s- you kind of missed out, but Les Savy Fav still loves you. We are very excited and proud to have finally completed this project and hope you enjoy hearing these songs all together.

The initial pressing of Inches comes with a DVD, future pressings may not include this which is really too bad because it is a good one. Along with the music are commentaries about the songs not only by the band, but by Billy Preston and Chris Zane from Gigantic Studios, film and television personality David Cross, the publisher of Chunklet Magazine Henry Owings, National Recording Studio's Phil Manley, comedian Fred Armisten as Niles Covington/Fabrezio and booking agent/power broker Robin Taylor. Seth did all of the editing for the commentaries. Beyond that there is all this cool video- Doug Jaeger made one for "Meet Me In The Dollar Bin", Tim made one for "We'll Make A Lover Of You", Tarikh Korula did a screen saver for "Hello Halo, Goodbye Glands", Rob Hudak used moving image to great effect in his video for "Reform (Dramatic Reading)", Jeff Gutowski made one for "Blackouts On Thursday", and Syd did "Rodeo". If that wasn't enough, the photographers Andrew Paynter, Amanda Marsalis, and Don Monic submitted 10 beautiful photos each that they have taken of the band over ten years. The real cherry on top is live footage from a show at North 6th in Brooklyn which filmmaker Andrew Reuland shot with the help of Andrew Freiband and edited all by himself. The whole DVD was authored and encoded by Tarikh Korula from the interactive media cartel Uncommon Projects. All the design for the DVD and packaging is by Les Savy Fav, as are all the songs. If you didn't get a DVD in your copy it is sad, maybe you can find one in the dollar bin at your local record store. Thanks everyone.
