Ruby Isle is a band created when Mark Mallman joined with his high school friend Dan Geller (co-founder of Kindercore Records) and drummer Aaron LeMay. They released an EP, Into the Black in 2007 and released their first full-length album Night Shot in 2008.
elbo.ws covers
[edit | edit source]In late 2007, Ruby Isle started a project[1] in which they covered the No. 1 song on indie music blog aggregator elbo.ws. The first pressing of their album Night Shot included all the covers from the first wave of this project:
- "Shadow Falls" (Hello Blue Roses)
- "Aly Walk with Me" (The Raveonettes)
- "Tyrant" (Black Mountain)
- "Foam Hands" (Destroyer)
- "Gila" (Beach House)
- "The Planes of Baltimore" (Stephen Malkmus/MIA)
- Ruby Isle missed a week, so they took two weeks' number ones ("Baltimore" by Stephen Malkmus and "Paper Planes" by MIA) and created one "mash-up" cover
- "Sax Rohmer No. 1" (The Mountain Goats)
- "Cherry Tulips" (Headlights)
elbo.ws II
[edit | edit source]In January 2009, they started the project again, this time also making videos for the covers, which were posted on YouTube:
- "White Winter Hymnal" (Fleet Foxes)
- "Skinny Love" (Bon Iver)
- "The Rake's Song" (The Decemberists)
- "My Girls (Animal Collective)
- "Short Fuse" (Black Lips)
- "Now We Can See" (The Thermals)
