MOG Editorial Review

For over 15 years, Les Savy Fav have been leading New York's art-rock scene, and Root for Ruin shows that they still aren't ready to stop being weird. Though they're still shouting post-modern ideas over loud, adrenaline-pumping guitars, the band have finally added a bit of sex appeal to their music. Standout track "Lips 'n Stuff" features frontman Syd Butler singing about love and the idea of "friends with benefits" in his own special way, and having a new topic to explore seems to have given the indie mainstays a fresh dose of energy. Even as many of Les Savy Fav's former peers falter, they're staying the course, and we couldn't be any happier.
AMG Review of Root for Ruin

All Music Guide

With its fifth album, Root for Ruin, the art rock outfit continues with the sound that made Let’s Stay Friends such a refreshing change for the band, refining its angular sound with pop polish. This slower, more melodic approach really shines on “Let’s Get Out of Here,” a laid-back, Pixies-influenced track that almost casually rises and falls, showing off the band's ability to take a chord progression and mine it for all its worth, coaxing out a breezy verse and an incredibly catchy hook that sound like they could be lost tracks from Doolittle. This more thoughtful approach also comes through on faster tracks like “Dirty Knails” and “Excess Energies,” providing a look at a Les Savy Fav who are able to be kinetic without being frenetic, showing that they can still cut loose without losing control of the song. While Root for Ruin isn’t the creative reawakening that Let’s Stay Friends was, it might be the band's tightest and most polished album yet. At this point in their career, Les Savy Fav have evolved their style so much that any clamoring for a return to their previous form feels like stubborn nostalgia. In fact, with this current sound reaching such a level of refinement, the only question left to ask of the band is, “What’s next?”
