Shadowy lyrics, deep throat voice, vintage sounds (farfisa, fuzz, 12-string, melodica, etc.), British Invasion/Motown inspired songcraft, with R&B grooves. Thick lyrics about thin chicks, thin hours, and thin grips top off the tracks.

an introduction to "i never do this sort of thing"
by dave reidy
--------------------------------------------
If hooks are pop music's currency, Matt Ruby is a rich man. But a hook only keeps you around for so long. For a song to be more than a passing fancy, it needs substance. It needs dark chocolate inside the colorful candy shell. On his first solo collection, I Never Do This Sort Of Thing, Ruby's shadowy lyrics provide that contrast.
Written, performed, and produced by Ruby (former frontman for the well-regarded Plastics Hi-Fi), I Never Do This Sort Of Thing has a stripped-down vibe. His raw voice, reminiscent of Lou Reed or maybe Stephen Merritt in his upper register, measures out noirish tales of sex, drugs, and love gone wrong. British invasion melodies nestle up against R&B grooves reminiscent of Dr. Dre or D'Angelo. Meanwhile, stark instrumentation swirls in the mix, usually in the form of vintage guitar and keyboard tones.
