The Ruby Suns

Add Date: February 23

Artist: The Ruby Suns

Album: Fight Softly

Label: Sub Pop

Genre: Pop/Electropop

Comments: Fight Softly is the second release for the Ruby Suns, known as "New Zealand's pop masters." The album is full of electronic manipulations, steady beats, some reverb and distortion, and almost-dreamy vocals, highlighting synthesizers and water sounds. Apparently a different direction than their first album (and criticized by some reviewers as a little too Animal Collective influenced), Fight Softly is certainly heavy on the electronic side of music, but the music is creative, melodic and enjoyable. Start with tracks 4, 7, 9.
