It's probably best not to mention that Ruby's Lesley Rankine was the
shrieking lunatic writhing on the floor amidst the guitar onslaught
of Silverfish; Ruby sounds completely - 180 degrees - different. But
having witnessed the charisma of Rankine's live fury, we'd be curious
to see what she was up to even if it were playing accordion in a
polka band. Salt Peter is a marvelous pop album in a trip-hop setting
(think Tricky/Bjork/etc.); yeah, it's the sound of the moment and by
next week everyone will be doing it - but they won't be doing it this
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. Her tense lyrics are redolent of sex and bitterness,
but she conveys as much with phrasing and tone as with words. Her
breathy inhalation or a single wordless growl between lines ("Heidi")
can be chilling; her expressive crooning on the campy lounge vamp
"Bud" is both enchanting and hilarious. But Rankine is only half the
story: Mark Walk (the two met in the Pigface revolving door) cleverly
constructs multi-dimensional dance, rock, mutant-jazz and
post-industrial soundscapes with razor-sharp, kitchen-sink,
anything-goes sampling. Expect the unexpected.
