Lake Ruth The Inconsolable Jean-Claude

Lake Ruth, the new group formed by vocalist Allison Brice (The Eighteenth Day Of May), instrumentalist Hewson Chen (The New Lines) and drummer Matt Schulz (Holy Fuck, SAVAK, Enon) have announced the release of their debut single ‘The Inconsolable Jean-Claude / The Prisoner’s Dilemma’ on the esteemed UK label ‘The Great Pop Supplement‘.

Mixed by Greg Hughes of Still Corners, the 7” single will be released on February 22nd, 2016.

Lake Ruth’s sound is rooted in 1960’s sonic experimentation, and skillfully blends elements of chamber pop, psych, kraut, jazz and electronic music. Cinematic A-side ‘The Inconsolable Jean-Claude’, an imagined portrait of French composer Jean-Claude Vannier, may appeal to fans of his work, along with those of Serge Gainsbourg and Margo Guryan. B-side ‘The Prisoner’s Dilemma’ evokes Pentangle and The Left Banke, with its baroque instrumentation and atmospheric vocals.

The stereo 45 (cat: GPS130) will be released and distributed direct from the label The Great Pop Supplement via all usual outlets; in a limited edition pressing of 300, and will be available for download and streaming via all major digital distributors. Both tracks will be exclusive to the single, and will not be featured on the forthcoming debut album, also to be released on The Great Pop Supplement for the Spring of 2016.

"One of the finest outings to have appeared in recent times on the illustrious GPS imprint… simply exquisite." — The Sunday Experience
