The Ruby Suns are an indie pop group hailing from New Zealand. The band was formed by *Ryan McPhun, who is the main songwriter and vocalist, along with *Alistair Deverick on drums and *Bevan Smith on bass. Over the years, they have had several former members including Graham Panther, Imogen Taylor, Amee Robinson, Gareth Shute, Mark Stebben, James Milne, and Edward Castelow.

With their unique blend of indie pop sounds and catchy melodies, The Ruby Suns have gained a dedicated following both in New Zealand and internationally. Their music has been compared to artists such as Here We Go Magic, Le Loup, Department Of Eagles, Atlas Sound, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective and many more.

Whether you're a fan of dreamy pop tunes or energetic indie anthems, The Ruby Suns offer a diverse range of songs that will captivate any listener. With their infectious energy and captivating live performances,*The Ruby Suns continue to push boundaries in the indie music scene.

'Christopher' is an album about starting over, but not necessarily moving forward. It's a breakup album, but as one listen will tell you, not necessarily a sad one. It's McPhun's fourth record for Memphis Industries, third for Sub Pop and first mixed by an a-list engineer: Chris Coady of Beach House, Grizzly Bear, gang gang dance and a zillion more. Mcphun spent two weeks at Coady's studio in New York. Together they polished christopher to an opalescent sheen, yielding the kind of expensive-sounding, future-leaning ear candy typically in the province of top 40 radio. Mcphun makes his own brand of pop - accessible and unconventional, ethereal and concise, modern and timeless. In that regard, 'Christopher' is miles beyond previous Ruby Suns records - a high-fi, meta-disco, headphonic roller-skating jam for lovers written and recorded over the course of several years, several world tours and several separate bands.
