The Ruby Suns

The psychedelic Kiwis of The Ruby Suns remind us that we're living in a post-Merriweather Post Pavilion world, where no synth track shall go single-tracked, and no throbbing dance beat can't be put to the service of a Technicolor carousel of Beach Boys harmonies and vague world-music inflections. Along with Yeasayer's Odd Blood, The Suns' Sub Pop-issued Fight Softly stands as one of early 2010's best escapes yet into wide-eyed, maximal ecstasy.
