Ruby Isle
# Ruby Isle

Ruby Isle is a band created when Mark Mallman joined with his high school friend Dan Geller (co-founder of Kindercore Records) and drummer Aaron LeMay. They released an EP, Into the Black in 2007 and released their first full-length album Night Shot in 2008.

## elbo.ws covers

In late 2007, Ruby Isle started a project in which they covered the No. 1 song on indie music blog aggregator elbo.ws. The first pressing of their album Night Shot included all the covers from the first wave of this project:

* "Shadow Falls" (Hello Blue Roses)
* "Aly Walk with Me" (The Raveonettes)
* "Tyrant" (Black Mountain)
* "Foam Hands" (Destroyer)
* "Gila" (Beach House)
* "The Planes of Baltimore" (Stephen Malkmus/MIA)

      * Ruby Isle missed a week, so they took two week's number ones ("Baltimore" by Stephen Malkmus and "Paper Planes" by MIA) and created one "mash-up" cover
* "Sax Rohmer No. 1" (The Mountain Goats)
* "Cherry Tulips" (Headlights)

### elbo.ws II

In January 2009, they started the project again, this time also making videos for the covers, which were posted on YouTube:

* "White Winter Hymnal" (Fleet Foxes)
* "Skinny Love" (Bon Iver)
* "The Rake's Song" (The Decemberists)
* "My Girls (Animal Collective)
* "Short Fuse" (Black Lips)
* "Now We Can See" (The Thermals)
