Spooky, swinging and luminous

original folk/jazz string band

 

Myshkin writes  about work, love, struggle and change from a fiercely egalitarian perspective. Jenny Q brings her cello, beats, harmonies, and Arab influence to the mix.  Awarded a Global Talent visa to live and work in the UK in 2022, they have made their home in the Scottish Highlands.

 

"A giant among songwriters. Well observed, unflinching, tender, bitterly funny songs"

 Hot Night In Paris

 

The new album from Myshkin and her long-running outfit The Ruby Warblers is a vivid, brass-laced ride through styles, cities, and states of mind. It’s playful without being lightweight, sophisticated without losing grit, and above all, it sounds like a band fully alive to the moment...what really makes Hot Night in Paris land is the interplay. This is not a solo record dressed up as a band project; it’s a conversation...At the center stands Myshkin herself, delivering each line with a storyteller’s instinct for timing and tone. Her voice, silky but edged with steel, carries songs that tackle big themes without losing their human scale.

The record’s backbone comes from an ensemble that reads like a quiet roll call of musical heavyweights...Despite the pedigree, nothing here feels showy. The arrangements serve the songs—and the songs serve the voice. Myshkin’s alto remains the album’s gravitational center: rich, controlled, and emotionally exact. Her writing is concise but loaded.
