It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from the Ruby Suns, whose last album Fight Softly came out in 2010. But the New Zealand indie pop band have readied a new LP Christopher for 2013. Take a taste what’s to come with “In Real Life,” a rumination on one’s past with appropriately sweeping keys and synths. Also check out the track and the band’s international tour dates below.
