Slate by Myshkin

"In 1993, on a stop in the southeast while roaming the country in my converted school bus, painting houses by day and spending every night at the infamous Snakesnatch Lounge with the local freaks, I cut my first record in three hours in a Tennessee studio, just like the old days. Seventeen songs sung straight though, to get them out of my system, make space in my brain before moving on down river. I called the record Slate and brought it with me to New Orleans, the raw little seed of a long road."


“Able to back up her quirks with genuinely otherworldly melodies and strangely satisfying string rhythms. Slate is eerie and a little unsettling, a most appropriate soundtrack to modern existence.”
— Gambit Weekly, New Orleans

Myshkin's Ruby Warblers play thoughtful original songs that swing and pulse with a fiery string band energy. Myshkin writes eloquently about work, love, struggle and change from a fiercely egalitarian perspective, and sings with exceptional pathos and power. Jenny Q brings her cello, beats, harmonies, and Arab influence to the mix. The result is both eclectic and electric.
