Little Garcon EP

VINYL FORMAT. "The EP follow up to [the Born Ruffians] Red Yellow Blue full length, Little Garcon sounds kind of like the jukebox of your local, neighborhood dive bar at one am, jumping around with sing-song-y familiarity, an underlying country twang, and a healthy scoop of in-song unpredictability that has everyone in the bar drunkily mouthing along the wrong lyrics.

The title track "Little Garcon" starts off with an acoustic guitar/harmonica combination reminiscent of a '64 Newport-era Dylan, and just when you think you got their style figured out, they throw in an accordion and all of a sudden sound like a Parisian coffee shop.

Little Garcon's an ambitious little guy, going from American folk to poppy sea shanties in a little under 28 minutes, and oftentimes this variety can be a bit detrimental to a relatively new band trying to nail down a sound. However, The Born Ruffians pull off a wide spectrum of musicality without really looking like they're trying too hard, and usually that's a pretty solid indicator of good things yet to come." - Chris Gayomali, Baeble Music
