Ruby is a duo featuring Lesley Rankine. 'Short Staffed At The Gene Pool' is a marvelous pop album in a trip-hop setting (think of Bjork/Maxwell, etc). It's the sound of the movement and by next week everyone will be doing it-but NOT as well. Rankine surprises not only with stick-in -your-head hooks and melodies but also with a compelling voice, one filled with presence and personality.
