    Charmingly wistful and twitchily rhythmic pop songs. [Nov 2015, p.71]

    RUFF is Born Ruffians’ strongest album to date. With gritty atmospherics that closely resemble their magnetic live show, the album is less polished and slick than 2013’s Birthmarks.

    The most curious thing about RUFF is how its narrative seems to hint at a band running out of energy and inspiration, and yet the music itself would say otherwise.
