"Ruby Jean & The Thoughtful Bees is an all-star team of Haligonian indie rockers making electro dance rock. As such, as hella-danceable as this offering is, it's got a little menace, swagger and sex appeal to it as well. The first thing I've fallen in lust with in 2009, this is a sweaty, dark, dingy, glorious record whose crunchy synths and hammering beats wrap around frontwoman extraordinaire Rebekah Higgs (that's Ruby Jean to you) and keep her warm enough to pierce you with superb bits of vocalization. Also, while You Don't Miss Me will be the hit, Trustfund is my favourite song of the young year."
