  • Explode from the center

    HYBR063

    Artist: Rubies

    Label: Hybris

    Danceable folk, homemade disco, and lost love laments; these are just a few facets of Rubies. California-based duo, Rubies, are two young ladies that push the boundaries of how we perceive pop music. The poised and dynamic range of songwriting keeps the listener excited by offering fresh and honest versions of future dancefloor and living room classics. Simone Rubi (lead vocals, keyboards) entices the crowd while Terri Loewenthal (bass) keeps them dancing. Add some shimmering guitar, the harmonies and beats provided by machine or borrowed man. While it could be in a crowded avant-garde discotheque in NYC, a motorik infused warehouse in Berlin, or the pine-needle carpeted redwoods of Big Sur, the energy of Rubies will have you dreaming of your first crush.

    For their debut album, "Explode from the Center," Rubies were lucky enough to have helping hands from Eirik Glambek-Boe (Kings of Convenience) and his new group "Kommode", Leslie Feist(Yes, Feist!), Karl-Jonas Winqvist (Blood Music), Dan Judd (Sorcerer), Lars Skoglund (Laakso, Peter, Bjorn and John), Maria Eriksson (The Concretes) and a small army of other talented folks from all over the world.

  • I feel electric

    3HYBR017

    Artist: Rubies

    Label: Hybris

    Danceable folk, bedroom disco, gentle funk, and lost love laments; these are just a few facets of Rubies. Their dynamic sound ranges from huge, synth-led dance-floor fillers, to more intimate
    pop moments. The cosmopolitan soundof Rubies is fast finding fans everywhere.
    Their sound is perfectly formed pop songs, born out of minimal percussion, beautiful arrangements and heartfelt lyrics. The electro tinged warmth of
    I Feel Electric is no exception. Leslie Feist features on guest vocals on 'Electric'. Electric certainly falls into the category of dance-floor filler. Opening like a hidden track from Power, Corruption & Lies, layers of synth build and build over Terri Loewenthal’s pounding bass line, before Simone’s effortlessly beautiful voice makes the track all their own. Add Amy Cooper's shimmering guitar and the harmonies of all three Rubies and the resultant track is pop perfection.

    Besides the main track Max Essa remix 'Electric' and the uncomparable Studio do their version of 'Room without a key'.
