This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

The Ruby Suns release their 2nd album on Memphis Industries. 'Sea Lion' is it's name and it's a truly great pop record. Their 1st album got missed in the office.... so much comes in we don't get chance to play half of it so we have to choose highlights....(like Match of the Day rather than a hairdresser would). I'm gonna have to check it out at some point cos this is an amazing pop album. Musically it's all over the shop but the theme that runs through it is a keen sense of pop.... think Akron/ Family crossed with a happier Beirut all wrapped up in a Brian Wilson flavoured pop burrito. Loads of crazy things happening here and there but all interspersed with some incredible tunes. Highly recommended!!

What their label says...

‘Sea Lion’ is a massive step forward from the critically adored 2007 debut record. Whereas the first leaned heavily on the influence of Brian Wilson, ‘Sea Lion’ displays a dizzying breadth of musical styles from African and Polynesian folk music, to flamenco, to eighties synth pop, to Disney movie soundtracks.
