Rating: ecstatic This record left Ben Keeler feeling ecstatic.

YES! Been listening to the Ruffians since before their first EP on XL. The album is sure to be AMAZING, and this single already is. I think the song Kurt Vonnegut might be on the b-side along with the almost-better-than-original Grizzly Bear cover! I love this band, and I love that they got picked up by Warp. It would be brilliant if they toured the UK sometime this year! For fans of Animal Collective, but also preppy stuff like Vampire Weekend.

Rating: unmoved This record left our Phil feeling unmoved.

Warp have signed Born Ruffians which is a weird one. I've not really got a handle of this debut 7" for the label (3rd UK release though!) yet despite me hearing it a few times. Violent Femmes crossed with Vampire Weekend I get..... and maybe something like the Minutemen. The press release says Strokes, Pavement and Pixies.... on the strength of this single I can't hear anything by those bands in their at all. Whoever wrote that is a numpty.... 'Hummingbird' is 7" only!

What the label says:

Infectious Canadian indie, this is the Born Ruffians debut single, backed with great TV, radio and online exposure.
An infectious slice of indie punk drawing comparisons to The Strokes, Pixies and Pavement. Limited vinyl (500 copies) backed with a cover of ‘Knife’, Grizzly Bear’s modern classic. Accompanied by a great video, serviced to all major music channels. 6Music session already confirmed.
