Driven by Ryan McPhun (hailing from stateside, but more than a little Kiwi), The Ruby Suns have occupied an interesting niche in New Zealand music for the last half-decade. Having started in the mid 2000s sounding a little more lo-fi alternative, with a touch of World Music thrown in ("The Ruby Suns" and "Sea Lion" albums) , they now sound like they have raided my record collection of the early-mid 1980s. This is likely to change, but I'm hoping they'll spend a little longer in that decade as they have taken the essence of that decade's electronic generation, and improved it. This song "Cinco" is from 2010's (extremely good) "Fight Softly" album. I have been listening to this album almost non-stop for the last few days. The band have released a beautiful new single "Kingfisher Call Me" which bodes well for the upcoming album. To listen to the latest single, go to the link below. They don't have a video that I know of yet. I will post it when I get it. (P.S.look out for the The Ruby Suns' drummer's EP - called Boycrush - "Everybody All The Time" - superb)
