A definição que a Spin colou, na revista edição de Maio, agora, acredito ser perfeita pra essa dupla de San Franciso: "Disco music made for your bedroom". Isto está no release da dupla, que continua assim "danceable folk, gentle funk, and lost love laments". Eis a impressão que eu tenho mesmo e, por isso, acredito que nem haja mais nada pra falar sobre elas, além de que têm vários amigos de peso, vindos da Suécia (rs). Elas começaram tudo em 2005, mas o debut " Explode From The Center " [...]

bay area duo rubies are releasing yet another single from their very well received debut album 'explode from the center', this time 'diamonds on fire'. the single is out via tellé from norway, well-known through their releases with kings of convenience and röyksopp . the single features a previously unreleased song named 'dreamhunt', a remake of 'signs of love' by mocky and a wonderful summertime flavoured remix by balearic disco producer sorcerer who is also one half of windsurf and who played additional guitar on the [...]

Gratitudes of plenty to the carrioncart . Kenny Rogers and The First Edition - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
Here's some good stuff that Pitchfork has given up recently on their Forkcast: • John Vanderslice - "Fetal Horses" from Romanian Names, due 05/19/09 on Dead Oceans • White Rabbits - "Percussion Gun" from It's Frightening, produced by Spoon's Britt...
Οι Rubies είναι ένα ντουέτο κοριτσιών από την Καλιφόρνια, η Simone και η Terri οι οποίες μάλιστα υπήρξαν μέλη των Call and Response . Ο χαρακτηρισμός " pop - disco - folk " δεν ξέρω αν ταιριάζει στον ήχο τους καθώς το καταπληκτικό Stand In A Line είναι το μόνο τραγούδι τους που έχω ακούσει. Ξεκινά με μια γλυκιά pop μελωδία και αιφνιδιάζει τον ακροατή με ένα απίθανα γοητευτικό funky ρεφρέν με αποτέλεσμα να γίνεται έντονα κολλητικό, όχι όμως με τον ενοχλητικό τρόπο που σου -μου- συμβαίνει συνήθως.. Το [...]
Monday, April 13, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Don't forget that Record Store Day is this upcoming Saturday! I know I'll be out and about supporting the shops in Austin, and you should make plans do the same (wherever you are). Get some details here. And now an EP to get things started off right. Enjoy. : Monahans - Slow Burn : For a few weeks now I've been trying to immerse myself in the Monahans upcoming full length, but it hasn't [...]

Rubies - "Stand In A Line" There are two distinct modes in this song - a gentle groove with pretty arpeggiated guitar, and a somewhat uneasy disco chorus that picks up the pace while amping up the neuroses. I favor the verses. I suppose when given the choice I'd rather feel comfortable and pensive rather than vaguely nervous and confused. All the same, the transition between the two sections is musically and emotionally seamless, and the overall tone and effect recalls the Cardigans' excellent hit "Lovefool." "Stand In A Line" doesn't have the same sort of giddy [...]

I was innocently looking for the new Rubies track and I found the remix by Shinichi Osawa... he's quite the remixer it seems, giving Digitalism's 'Pogo' the treatment, then getting it returned by our own Van She on his own production 'Maximum Joy'. Loving the Rubies remix. Pogo (Shinichi Osawa remix) Rubies - Stand in a line (Shinichi Osawa Remix) Maximum Joy - Shinichi Osawa (Van She Remix) Share/Save
A little while back I posted a remix of Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' by the Swedish group Tiedye. They've just signed to the Italains Do It Better label, and are making some seriously sexy balaeric sounds everyone seems to be vibing on at the moment. It's so good I'm giving it another run. Then I stumbled upon their remix of the Rubies track 'I feel Electric', which happens to have Feist on vocal duties. That's all I've got. This track is just amazing. Im lost for words. It doesn't happen often. Trust me. Tiedye [...]
Sometime in the near future, I'll compile a list of slept-on records from 2008. In the meantime, allow me to serve this Studio remix of Rubies' "Room without a Key," a track so sublime that writing about it threatens to invoke the hoary "Dancing About Architecture" adage. Plus, I'm busy. So in short, the moral is that Swedish Balearic music is good. Work is bad. And Ikea is somewhere in between. Download: MP3: Rubies-"Room Without A Key" (Studio Version)
What do you get when you mix together two Jewels and one No?... Good Disco! Tomorow night, a great little concert (very fitting for wintertime) will take place at Wrongbar , where Glass Candy and Nite Jewel will take you back to the future, literally. Both these artist manage to recreate and maintain the essence of 70's disco tendencies yet infuse their own touch with new sounds, making their work fresh and contemporary. Portland, Portland, Portland... why are so many good things coming out of that [...]
I just got back from SoCal an hour ago so I'm knackered right now and not really in the mood to type my life story. So here's your All In A Week's Work: Three anticipated albums (for me at least) are represented by Kelly Clarkson, Franz Ferdinand, and Justin Timberlake. Kelly's gone back to the sold out popstar she was (I love you Kelly, I'm just saying that your last album? Pretty damn good despite what Clive Davis said. "Chivas" was the perfect "I hate you for breaking my heart" song and was excellent to sing to in [...]
Se suponía que este sería un top ten de las canciones de 2008 que más escuché precisamente este año; pero la lista se extendió y se extendió hasta esta final de 30. Recordando claro, que es sumamente subjetiva y que obedece a traumas y experiencas personales vividas durante el año. No lleva un orden de cuál me agrada más que otra, aunque al principio esa era la intención (o sea que happiness si es la que más escuché :P). 1.- Happiness - Goldfrapp 2.- [...]
1. Mae - This Time Is the Last Time - In honor of the 5-year anniversary of Mae's first record (one of the albums that changed my life), they just put out a choose-your-own-adventure-styl e DVD packed full of song-by-song commentary. It occasionally edges on self-serving, but the majority is a fascinating look on how the songs were written and recorded and a few charming vignettes on how the band came to be. It's a must have if you're a fan. [from Destination:Beautiful | buy | buy DVD ] [...]
It appears as though the door to my blog now includes a "Content Warning" pathetically hedged to its rusty hinges by complaints to Google. If you are reading this then I hope that you have understood the "Terms of Service" because if you haven't and I offend you with my "objectionable" content then you are a no longer just a douche bag - you are now a retarded douche bag who has been warned. All my faithful non complaining readers will now be rewarded a dose of Derogatory Hitler [...]
Es ist zwar schon über eine Woche vergangen, doch das Konzert der Rubies am 19. Nov. im Ü&G ist noch immer einen Rückblick wert. Vor allem weil die geringe Besucheranzahl zeigt, wie wenig Beachtung dieser hervorragenden Band aus Kalifornien bisher geschenkt wird. Das einstige Trio, heute nur noch ein Duo bestehend aus Simone Rubi and Terri Loewenthal, präsentierte überwiegend Stücken aus ihrem aktuellen Album "Explode from the Center", welches im Mai diesen Jahres bei uns auf Modernsoul erschien. Modernsoul? Ja, richtig! Kein Major steht hinter dieser Band, deren Sound durchaus als gekonnte [...]
