C+A+D essentials Born Ruffians released another taste of their upcoming album Birthmarks today. It’s indicative of a potentially new direction for them. Not going to lie, I was expecting their new stuff to sound more like frontman Luke Lalonde’s solo stuff but it doesn’t. At the beginning, it could almost be confused with a Fleet Foxes song with airy harmonies and gentle echoes. By the end of the song, it is unmistakably Born Ruffians.
