It appears that Les Savy Fav has taken a break from alternately terrifying and enlightening audiences across the world to record a new album. Pitchfork has announced that Root for Ruin, their fifth studio album, will come out Sept. 14.
Given the six years between the releases of their last two albums, the relatively quick turnaround this time is a welcome surprise. The band tells Pitchfork that it'll sound a lot like "mid-1990s indie bands," which, no matter what you might tell people, is always a good thing.
