The Ruby Suns - Sea Lion

At the debut album of the Ruby Suns are putting him on the side of the Vampire Weekend. They are related by how from the perspective of indie-rock USA come up other forms of music, usually those packed into the formula ambiguous? World Music?
And although not as outburst as the VW, it is clear in a first heard that the mix of psychedelia Californian, Polynesian rhythms and experimentation affordable works very well.
Must be something we have taken to water, or a virus, because indie bands from around the world are incorporating the continents strangers in their own way of making music. And all at once: it had already singing in hawaiian Person Pitch, Panda Bear, but also because it means had failed in the Smile of the Beach Boys. Maybe I am smug in nature, but I can not avoid the feeling that certain songs look less than they should have been due to the great skill with their acoustic guitars. In fact, when it comes to guitars and musical instruments, I consider myself quite an expert.

But it is a surprise that, while there are people looking to Polynesia, Africa yaa everything at once (ElGuincho, tropical with plenty of class to be regarded as anything other than? Carlinhos Brown of the indie? Already I hear so much out there).
In fact, the same disk Ruby Suns put the cards on the table. His last song, Morning Sun, is a reflection of what would have been four years ago: a pleasant pop melody without soprpresas, with a soft base shoegaze and great guitar playing and a little more.
But rather than comply with that, the Ruby Suns have created a very healthy soup, a trip through the Pacific that part of the Californian desert (Oh, Mojave, tremendous roots rock song), is mounted on a surfboard in Baja California to the rhythm of Brian Wilson, made a stop in Hawaii while listening to the Caribou of the Pixies (There Are Birds) and ends  at the other end of the world, enjoying the same delight as men's beach Bounty, on a journey mere tourist.
Because if something can be attributed to Sea Lion is that their excessive ambition, his horizons and breadth of their desire to be almost a book tour musicians makes it lose some strength.
