The Ruby Suns.

These southern hemisphere darlings toured extensively with The Shins in 2007 and have been pushing out for more notice ever since. Full of the bright colours that Animal Collective wave about and the percussion that Yeasayer noisily brandish, The Ruby Suns are soon to tour with Toro Y Moi in America. Back over in England, the trio's third album, Fight Softly, will be released at the start of next month, with their collection of psych-pop songs to flurry the butterflies and flowers out of you. Frontman Ryan McPhun went into the new album looking for more organic sounds without wanting them to sound "organic", so out comes a more synth and effected guitar driven throng of songs, including:
