In a world where technologies speed new music to listeners and enable young bands instant access to l imitless audience, Les Savy Fav is among an increasingly rare breed of band who built their audience city by city and fan by fan. The approach has yielded something even more rare: a fully seasoned band at the peak of their skill that has not been blown out by hype and overexposure. The band’s 2007 release, Let’s Stay Friends, was their first to achieve substantial press response and found it\’s place in many lists of top albums for the year. With their new release, Root For Ruin, Les Savy Fav seems poised for the kind of widespread acclaim many have felt they have long deserved. The new album is called Root For Ruin for several reasons. Here’s one: it sifts through 15 years of musical experience to arrive at a diamond-edged sound that’s as upfront and direct as the quintet’s legendary live shows. That goes for everything from the gut-punching percussion and drunken punk subtleties of “Clear Spirits” to the moonlit melodies and restless, groove of “Sleepless in Silverlake”. \”Poltergeist\”, cut in one take at the band\’s rehearsal space, features a downward spiral vibe that’s both delirious and delightful. Root For Ruin keeps you on your toes through 11 tracks. The band approached their previous release Let\’s Stay Friends, after over ten years working together, the way a married couple looking to spice things up might. Like the hosts of a wild swingers party, they opened their arms to embrace new players from such indie rock institutions as the Fiery Furnaces, Broken Social Scene, Enon and Modest Mouse to join them. They even we nt so far as to invite fans to sing on their tracks over the phone. Root For Ruin finds frontman Tim Harrington, bassist Syd Butler, drummer Harrison Haynes, and guitarists Seth Jabour and Andrew Reuland enjoying a less \”open\” relationship. The album features only the five Favs. “With our last album, we wanted to cavort around the world and try some freaky stuff.” says Harrington. \”With this one(Root For Ruin), it turns out we enjoy making love with one another more than with a group of strangers” adds Jabour. Weird sex metaphors aside, the tightness of the band is undeniable on Root For Ruin. For some it will signal a return to the rawer energy evidenced on their early recordings. It\’s clear by the tracks on the album that the guys are enjoying their own legacy. Many songs carry the torch for some of the band\’s first influences. Still, it\’s not nostalgic. Root For Ruin is not stylistic pose or aesthetic conceit- it\’s the real deal. Les Savy Fav\’s commitment to it\’s work and fans might explain why one of Brooklyn\’s ballsiest bands has maintained such a cult following for more than a decade. With Root For Ruin, they\’ve succeeded in distilling their interests and experiences into an album which will continue to influence the independent music scene they\’ve helped build while broadening their sound towards a new world of fans Artist Les Savy Fav Genre Rock And Pop Label Wichita Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 01 Appetites 02 Dirty Knails 03 Sleepless in Silverlake 04 Let’s Get Out of Here 05 Lips n’ Stuff 06 Poltergeist 07 High and Unhinged 08 Excess Engergies 09 Dear Crutches 10 Calm Down 11 Clear Spirits Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Les Savy Fav and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Les Savy Fav OUI LSF Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | French Kiss | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th May 2024 £20.00 Select options Les Savy Fav OUI LSF £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: French Kiss Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th May 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Les Savy Fav Root For Ruin Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | French Kiss | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th January 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Les Savy Fav Root For Ruin £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: French Kiss SKU: FKR000451A Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Codeine Frigid Stars Rock And Pop | Numero Group | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th July 2023 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Codeine Frigid Stars £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Numero Group Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Red Hot Chili Peppers Mothers Milk Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 18th March 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Red Hot Chili Peppers Mothers Milk £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 6981721 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Gold Mother – National Album Day 2023 Rock And Pop | Universal | 2LP Released 14th October 2023 £39.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations James Gold Mother – National Album Day 2023 £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Universal SKU: 3558874 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Cult, The Choice of Weapon Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 2LP Released 16th May 2012 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cult, The Choice of Weapon £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP548 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th May 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pixx The Age Of Anxiety Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 2nd June 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pixx The Age Of Anxiety £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: 4AD0002LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Two Year Vacation Laundry Day Rock And Pop | Clouds Hill | 1LP Released 20th November 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Two Year Vacation Laundry Day £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Clouds Hill SKU: 4250795603009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniel Lanois Player, Piano Rock And Pop | Modern Recordings | 1LP Released 21st October 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniel Lanois Player, Piano £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Modern Recordings SKU: 4050538837377 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elton John The Big Picture Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd August 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elton John The Big Picture £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5738320 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cat Power What Would The Community Think?
