The press release for the new Ruby Suns album, Fight Softly, mentions a few different recording locales–Seattle, a farmtown in Hungary called Szeged, and the band’s home base of Auckland, New Zealand. That the album gestated in these different zones makes complete sense when you hear "Closet Astrologer," a song that almost sounds anchorless, like its drum line can’t keep ahold of anything, waves of crystallized synth slipping out of its grasp like a child’s balloon. It’s gorgeous, unearthly stuff, much like the rest of the record, which is available now through recently mega prolific Sub Pop.

Sounds like: High Places angling for Ibiza, Animal Collective, Phil Collins
