The Fauves is the seventh studio album by Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne indie band The Fauves.

The album is notable for its brevity and the fact that it only contains three songs by Phil Leonard ("The Doctor").

[citation needed] Cox said, "It came together relatively quickly.

We wrote the songs over a period of a few months then learnt them really quickly and then recorded it really quickly.

Our last couple of albums had more instrumentation on them with the keyboards but we've stripped this one back to guitar bass and drums.
