The Ruby Suns new single, ‘Cranberry’, from their upcoming album Fight Softly (scheduled to be released in March 2010) is definitely not your average piece of music. This modern composition is arranged to perfection and from beginning to end leaves you guessing as to what direction it may take. The Ruby Suns would be somewhat hard to classify under one specific genre because their sound is an amazing fusion of African rhythm/precussion, field-recorded samples, psychedelic melodies, poppy synthetics, and faraway chant like vocals.  Regardless of genre, the New Zealand band composed of California born Ryan McPhun, Amee Robinson, and Bevan Smith has an incredible resonance and if this song serves as a precursor as to the quality of the rest of their new album I can’t wait to hear it!
