Born Ruffians - Birthmarks

Review by Jazz Monroe

Birthmarks is probably the most impressive Born Ruffians record to date, but it’s a shame they travelled so far without straying far from the middle of the road.»

Born Ruffians are based out of Toronto, and have built up quite a following in both their native Canada and the rest of the world over the last 5 years. The band has previously released 2 full lengths and 2 EPs via Warp Records. A key ingredient in the creation of Born Ruffians' new album, Birthmarks, was a remote farmhouse in rural Ontario. The band wanted to return to the days spent writing their debut, 'Red, Yellow and Blue', wherein they lived together and "whenever we had an idea we could work it out right there that moment."
