around the world in 80 days via Sub Pop records (2008), and just recently pressed on vinyl for the first time.
It's awfully distracting traveling the world, and I'm admittedly slouching on the blog love front this week—which is why I'm digging deep in the personal favorites bag and posting about one of mine from last year: Sea Lion, by fellow globetrotters The Ruby Suns. Here's something I wrote about the record in another piece:
"There's something universally appealing about Sea Lion: its incredibly fun. So long as the Ruby Suns keep that spirit as their amorphous music's common denominator, I've no doubt we can expect more great things to come from these New Zealanders"
Start with the carnival-inspired Latin vibes of "Tane Mahuta," or "Kenya Dig It?" and its cinematic 80's score. You might recognize the chorus of "Oh Mojave" from that one Microsoft commercial.
