Already establishing themselves as an act that stands out from the pack, this use of the track in the highly regarded fashion brand's campaign just reinforces the 'cool factor' their music possesses.
The song, which is already receiving support from NME Radio, XFM and featured in The Best of MySpace podcast with Gill Mills, is taken from their 2nd LP which is to come out on Sharp Attack Records.
Rubicks "Giddy Up" single:
Produced by Robert Harder (Brian Eno, Acoustic Ladyland and Whitey), a friend and previous collaborator on their critically acclaimed debut LP 'In Miniature', the band are now looking to incorporate a slightly electronic edge to their already new wave-influenced alternative sound.
With this move to a more electronic vibe, the band state that their new LP offers 'hope in a bleak twisted landscape akin to The Knife, Siouxsie and the Banshees and T-Rex.'
Following their much-admired 2009 'Idiot Time' EP and 2006 album 'In Miniature' which marked them out as 9/10 in NME ('too good for the album pages'), they have recently toured throughout America, Canada and Europe playing festivals including SXSW, Canadian Music Week and one in a Lithuanian forest in addition to supporting Gary Numan, White Rose Movement and John Foxx on their tours.
Rubicks, which consists of Vanessa Anne Redd (vocals/guitar), Marc Makarov (bass), Anthony Johns (drums) and Vee Vimolmal (synths/MPC2000), are currently residing at the studio/art gallery 'the Maurice Einhardt Neu Gallery' in East London district Shoreditch and preparing for these upcoming releases, UK touring and a slot The Secret Garden Party.
