The Veil by Ruby Pettit
Slow moving melodies and a uniquely nostalgic vocal style; the works of Ruby Pettit hold a mysterious space of their own in the alternative folk genre. Ruby has developed a stirring and evocative sound through intuitive experimentation involving a range of traditional and modern folk genres.
After a stint in Glasgow, the West Australian based musician became charmed by the Scottish Highlands, encouraging an exploration into folk music.
She recorded and self-released her debut EP When I Was a Dreamer (July 2021) and her debut album Still We Are Rising was recorded on reel-to-reel tape over two stormy days in July 2022 and championed on Perth’s RTRFM as a local feature album.
Igloo Records are proud to present The Veil - a collection of 4 songs from Ruby Pettit that sees further experimentation and expansion of the folk genre within the confines of her candlelit home studio. Droning chord organs and bowed double bass complete the sonic textures within, with a final polish undertaken in South London by Andy Ramsay (Stereolab, The Choral, The High Llamas).
Recently playing with Jack Davies, Turnstyle, Last Quokka and 6s & 7s as well as numerous songwriter showcases indicates the universal emotions Ruby communicates through her songs and thus establishing herself as an intriguing, emerging folk artist.
