Review: Twelve Caesars - Ruby Ridge (Ramrock Red Records)

Twelves Caesar are back with a new single, 'Ruby Ridge' and is it another scene from wild eyed dreams?

Is it really a couple of years since Twelve Caesars (aka Andrew Pipe and Stephen Ennever) released the 12 track album 'Scene From Wild Eyed Dreams' (see review HERE) that included the BBC 6 Music hit, 'Calfiornia Sleaze' ? (see review HERE)  

The duo are back with their brand new 'Cointelpro' LP and their forthcoming single, 'Ruby Ridge', an All-Americana folk rock release with Byrds/CS&N/Eagles sensibilities - think 'prog'-mod tendencies from the South Coast (Ed - which is the best coast to be on for this type of thing)

Check out he 'Ruby Ridge' instrumental so you can really hear how good Ennever's Hammond organ solos are whilst the vocal version tells the tale of an everday tale from 1992 in Boundary Co. Idaho for the Weaver Family vs. FBI as they 'stand off' for the final shoot-out - maybe coming to a Netflix near you soon.

Andrew's vocals really suit 'Ruby Ridge' as there's a bit of seaside Style-Council to it - maybe the No'West Remix crew will have a bash or maybe a Darren Morris solo remix (see HERE) with a 'Union I' organ sample? (more news on what this means coming soon!)
