Aug 1, 2013On first listen, Ruby Red is explosive, raucous, and exciting. Repeated listening reveals different textures, more nuanced emotions, softer tones.
-
Jul 30, 2013McLamb seems to be relishing the chance to get outside of his head, making music that is gorgeous and unashamedly fun.
-
UncutJul 23, 2013Immersive and claustrophobic, Ruby Red seems designed for solitary listening under headphones. [Aug 2013, p.72]
-
Jul 23, 2013Like a complex machine, the record has an impressive number of moving parts, but it lacks soul.
-
