What you say No-one has reviewed Red Yellow and Blue by Born Ruffians yet. Give us your opinion on Red Yellow and Blue by Born Ruffians. What we say This record left our Phil feeling unmoved. I've not quite got Born Ruffians. I don't think they're shit or anything. Far from it in fact... they're probably pretty good. I just don't get 'em. Red Yellow And Blue is their debut album and the title track opens the album, sounding somewhere between Animal Collective and Vampire Weekend with a dash of Violent Femmes. The rest of the album treads a similar path and it's very quirky Pitchforkesque American indie rock. This is how things sound like in the underground these days... get used to it. This is more than likely gonna be a grower though as it's already doing something to me which it hasn't done before. That is it's not actually irritated me yet and that has to be a good thing. It's packed full of energy though which makes me think they'd be entertaining live. I think a lot of these bands are a live thing these days... What the label says: An incredible, infectious slice of indie punk from Canadian trio Born Ruffians.   Contains the singles ‘Hummingbird’ and ‘I Need A Life’. What the critics are saying: “8/10 - One of this new year’s most engaging and endearing indie-rock debuts” – Pitchfork; “A blast of anxious, giddy energy” – SPIN; “89%” – Filter.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.

'music...... it all sounds the same time to me.'
