Les Savy Fav roots for the ruin of album pirates, decides to release album early

·

Did you download Les Savy Fav’s latest album Root for Ruin? If so, the band has a bone to pick with you… sort of. Originally scheduled to drop on September 14, Root for Ruin will be released a bit earlier (at least digitally), due to an early leak making its way online late last month.

Showing they have a sense of humor about the whole thing, the band has setup a donation page on their website (complete with alternate artwork) for those feeling guilty about listening to the album without paying. They’ve also set up a tongue-in-cheek Twitter account promising eternal damnation to those who have or plan on pirating the album.

Root for Ruin will now be available on iTunes tomorrow, August 3, in North America, with physical copies scheduled to be available shortly thereafter. Pre-ordering is available now via iTunes.
