The Ruby Suns Announce New Album and Tour

On March 2nd New Zealand's pysch-pop outfit The Ruby Suns will release Fight Softly, their 3rd LP and 2nd for Sub-Pop. The forthcoming album is another beat centric affair that favors scuzzy electronic melodies over strumming guitars. I'm already hooked on the albums first single, Cranberry.
