Mike James & DJ Kriegs

New Zealanders The Ruby Suns are set to release their third album, Fight Softly, this March, from which "Cranberry" comes. The track is part carnival, part mid-nineties electro, Vengaboys-esque throwback (but not nearly as tacky), essential devided down the middle. I have to admit that I find the second half puts me more in the merrymaking mood, but the whole thing exudes a dancing happiness that's hard to ignore. So take a listen, after all, it's a no-strings-attached free download :-)

Also, if you're diggin' The Ruby Suns, and are in the Atlanta area, they'll be playing at The Drunken Unicorn on Monday March 22 2010.
