We
Make Our Own Bad Luck is the new album from Illinois
rock act New Ruins, the follow-up to their first
release, The Sound They Make, from 2007.
Droning acoustic/electric rock haunted by rural
spectres, songs rendered in sepia-tone, but updated
with DIY studio machinations. Since their debut
the original duo of songwriters J. Caleb Means and
Elzie Sexton has expanded into a quintet, featuring
bassist/multi-instrumentalist Paul Chastain (Velvet
Crush, Matthew Sweet), drummer Roy Ewing (Braid,
Very Secretary), and Andrew Davidson (Tractor Kings,
Chemicals) on bass and auxiliary percussion. New
Ruins is a band as comfortable in a stage-shaking
three-guitar line-up as it is in a more intimate
stripped-down acoustic setting.

MUSIC GUIDE: "Dark-hued pop music that
strikes a balance between melody-driven pleasure
and guitar-fueled malaise."
