Root For Ruin Les Savy Fav SKU: WEBB265LP Barcode: WEBB265LP 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wichita Released Date: 7th October 2010 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Since their emergence from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1996, Les S avy Fav have been building a passionate following among musicians, fans, an d critics the old fashioned way: by earning it. 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 Serj Tankian Elasticity Rock And Pop | BMG | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 30th April 2021 £18.00 - £23.00 Select options Serj Tankian Elasticity £18.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 30th April 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Zarelli (Carwyn Ellis) Soft Rains Rock And Pop | Bronzerat | 1LP, Includes CD Released 23rd February 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Zarelli (Carwyn Ellis) Soft Rains £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bronzerat SKU: SA06 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 23rd February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Elvis Costello & The Attractions Goodbye Cruel World Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th October 2015 £12.99 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Elvis Costello & The Attractions Goodbye Cruel World £12.99 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: 4733111 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th October 2015 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Yeule softscars Rock And Pop | Ninja Tune | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd September 2023 £22.00 Select options Yeule softscars £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ninja Tune Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Keane Under The Iron Sea Rock And Pop | USM | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 14th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Keane Under The Iron Sea £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: USM SKU: 6717742 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jukebox the Ghost Let Live and Let Ghosts Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st December 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jukebox the Ghost Let Live and Let Ghosts £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2577C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Lofgren Blue With Lou Rock And Pop | Wienerworld | 2LP Released 26th April 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Lofgren Blue With Lou £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wienerworld SKU: CTRR1018V Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mariah Carey Butterfly Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 1LP Released 6th November 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mariah Carey Butterfly £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 19439776411 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Promise & The Monster Feed The Fire Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd January 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Promise & The Monster Feed The Fire £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA492V Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View RNDM Ghost Riding Rock And Pop | Dine Alone | 1LP Released 4th March 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders RNDM Ghost Riding £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dine Alone SKU: 2601299 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
