Combining elements of folk, lounge, Americana, and the western ballad, all infused with a strange, dark sparsity, Ruby Fray has an uncanny way of leaving her listeners warmed and chilled at the same time. Ruby Fray is the solo project of Emily Beanblossom, the singer for the psyche/surf-punk band Christmas. While not nearly as spastic and exuberant as her work with Christmas, the more subdued backdrop of her new solo project allows room for her hauntingly powerful voice to take center stage. Her debut album Pith was recently released by Olympia based K records, and features guest performances by Calvin Johnson, Arrington de Dionyso, and many more. Catch her official album release show this Sunday, May 13th, at Wardenclyffe along with Briana Marela, Benjamin Cissner, and Carlton Bostock.
