3/5 is the first album by

Les Savy Fav Les Savy Fav ( ) is an American indie rock band based in New York City. Their style is influenced by art punk and post-hardcore. The group is known for the stage presence of lead singer Tim Harrington. The band is signed to Frenchkiss Record ...

. It was released in 1997 by Self-Starter Foundation. The LP release came in a pack of shower caps and is fairly difficult to find, sometimes fetching high prices on eBay. Coincidentally, only three-fifths of the line-up on this album, the band's first, remain in the present-day line-up, as drummer Patrick Mahoney was replaced by Harrison Haynes before the group's second album, '' The Cat and the Cobra'', and guitarist Gibb Slife left before the recording of the '' Emor: Rome Upside Down'' EP. Having gone out of print, the album was re-issued in 2006 on the Frenchkiss label, minus the shower caps.
