Artist Spotlight: Ruby Ridge

Starting off your week with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight. Today, we have an eclectic indietronic duo based from out of Camrbidge, MA by the name of Ruby Ridge. The group consists of the husband and wife team of Callan Von B on synthesizers, programming, and vocals and John Von B on vocals, programming, synthesizers, and percussion. The duo has a mellow, intricate sound that is reminiscent of such groups like Animal Collective and Beach House with a distinct and straightforward sound that is all their own and allows them to explore the confines of their comfort zone with remarkable ease and aplomb. I was really impressed with their music when I first heard it last month and really appreciated the band's simplicity and the dynamic and creative approach they took when crafting their music together that didn't feel need to go over the top with anything too fancy or extreme. A great local group deserving of an extra push in the local scene. A recommended track for you to have a listen at is "No Shade".
