Interesting voice - an echo of something between Nina Persson and Tracey Thorn - not the kind of female voice that appeals to me personally, but with a very distinct timbre and colour that enhances the atmosphere of the songs. Her lower notes are sweet and show perhaps the real "character" of the voice. Ethereal guitars and keyboards, robust but not overwhelming percussion. The lyrics are beautiful, some of the melodies "difficult" enough to make a difference. It is one of the albums I found pleasant the first time I listened to them, but something in them made me return and notice even more elements and details that had escaped me before. There is internal power and architecture in this one, despite the first impression of daintiness and fluidity. "Shan Shui" and "Underwater Place" are little gems.

These are the most beautiful songs that heard in the last times. The rhythm, the voice, the instruments, the atmosphere... everything in perfect harmony. Thank's!

Un disco che mi riporta agli anni '80,ai cocteau twins,un album sottile e delicato ed allo stesso tempo caldo e vitale,da conservare con cura.

I discovered this band on Last.FM ( well actually They recommended themselves to me ! ) When I first heard Midsummer Fires I knew that this band was something special . Then the song Remains of the day. WOW ! The lyrics and vocals are exceptional and their whole style is exceptional to this genre. I have been a fan ever since. The music is very dreamy but what I like most is that it seems to draw me to some other place and time . Some of the bass lines in these tracks are just awesome mixed with guitar that almost sounds Jazzy and vocals that have some very beautiful harmonies ,This band will seduce you if you like the dreampop or chillout genres even remotely . I can't get enough of their music and am hoping they will record more music . I am hungry for more.

Great sound & voices. Mixed very well.

Recents Songs ? Un vrai régal pour mes oreilles de mélomane. Une voix toujours aussi enchanteresse que dans l'album "Chicago Demos". Je me suis laissé envouter et par la voix et par la musique. Cet album est géant et à un avenir prometteur ! Bonne continuation B-R ! Un fan de France ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Recent Songs? A true treat for my ears of music lover. A voice always as enchanter as in the album “Chicago Demonstrations”. I let myself bewitch and by the voice and the music. This album is giant and with a promising future! Good continuation Br! A fan of France!

Envoutant....Aerien

I really love Blood Ruby, I think they just have a good thing going. Bass player stays active, guitars are well blended,solid percussion, and a vocalist who occasionally sings flat, and it actually works for the overall balance.

An amazing set of beautiful sounds, amazing drifts in-between those sonic pannels I have always loved - from shoegaze to dream-filled, even melancholic notches (dark folk/rock/ethereal pop), resembles of such bands as Cocteau Twins, Jane Siberry, Love Spiral Downwards, (even Portishead) and many others. Very beautiful accomplishment indeed. http://agier.blogspot.com/2011/05/blood-ruby-recent-songs-2011.html

Du chorus, du delay, des voix qui s'entremêlent... Oui, c'est bien chanté, oui, c'est envoutant, suave, doux et délicieusement mélancolique. Sauf que Cocteau Twins l'a fait bien avant eux et mieux qu'eux. Si vous êtes fan de ce groupe, écoutez Cocteau Twins, vous saurez de quoi je parle. Sur cet album ça se sent moins que sur le précédent... Si, de singes des Cocteaux Twins ils devenaient leurs enfants spirituels, s'émancipant sans renier leurs racines, là, je commencerais à trouver un intérêt à les écouter. Ce groupe a un potentiel certain, mais je préfère attendre de voir comment ils évolueront avant de me faire un jugement définitif. Pour l'instant, c'est du sous-Cocteau Twins.
