Ruby Fray - Grackle

Ruby Fray – Grackle
With Grackle, Ruby Fray—led by the magnetic Emily Beanblossom—takes a bold step forward from their debut album Pith (KLP239), blending Americana sweetness with sludgy dissonance to striking effect.

Recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, WA, and once again produced by Ben Hargett (Pith), this new release retains the playful, genre-hopping spirit of Ruby Fray’s earlier work while embracing a sharper, more disciplined approach to songwriting. The result is a textured, emotionally rich album that veers between jangly pop, folk-tinged moods, and heavier, fuzz-laden moments.

Grackle (KLP251) is an adventurous and dynamic listen—an album that confidently balances experimental energy with melodic clarity.
