Following their debut ‘Actual Entity’ (2016), NYC’s Lake Ruth have announced the release of their second album, ‘Birds of America,’ due out February 16th, 2018.\u00a0Mixed by Grammy-winning producer Geoff Sanoff, the LP will be available in a limited vinyl edition of 500 (cat: FC06) via UK collector’s label Feral Child (Luna, Cheval Sombre, Pete Astor) with digital via Bandcamp and all major distributors.\u00a0Stream the single One Of Your Own<\/em> via SoundCloud here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lake Ruth was formed in 2015 by multi-instrumentalist Hewson Chen of The New Lines, drummer Matt Schulz (Holy Fuck, Enon, SAVAK) and vocalist Allison Brice, best known for her work with UK groups The Eighteenth Day of May and The Silver Abduction. Their expanded live line-up includes Ren\u00e9 Dennis (The New Lines), Sohrab Habibion (Obits, SAVAK) and David Mason (Listening Center). Over the past 18 months, they have played NYC Popfest, Rooftop Films, The Bowery Ballroom and other notable venues. Inspired by 1960’s sonic experimentation, baroque psychedelia, library obscurities, vintage pop noir, Giallo soundtracks, kraut and jazz, Lake Ruth creates intriguing and unique music rich with multilayered instrumentation, propulsive rhythms and atmospheric vocals.<\/p>\n

Birds of America’s striking front cover features a detail from Edinburgh artist Alan Mills, Jr’s 2016 painting ‘The Birth of Socialism’ (see below). Lyrically, the album explores themes of oppression and resistance, survival and escape. Its ten songs are populated by a collection of dispossessed characters, struggling to navigate the perilous landscape of a chaotic society at the nexus of destruction and rebirth.<\/p>\n
