Born Ruffians - Red Yellow and Blue

Produced by Rusty Santos, the New York mixer behind Animal Collective and Panda Bear's albums, this record exemplifies the Ruffians' brand of self-described 'hootin and hollarin'. from start to finish it's a good time and the band knows it. WIth songs like the jangly "Hedonistic Me" and the sugary sweet "Foxes Mate for Life" to the foot-stomping "Badonkadonkey", the band constantly pushes the boundaries of musical arrangements. Live, they have the chops of a seasoned performer, but none of the jade, performing each set like it's their last.
