Salt Peter

Lesley Rankine had met producer Mark Walk via the fluctuating industrial rock project Pigface; when the former left Silverfish and moved to Seattle to collaborate directly with Walk, Ruby was the result, with a debut radically different from her old group’s noisy feedback rampage. Salt Peter showcased her gripping vocals across a variety of electronic and rhythm-based arrangements, from the stirring musical melodrama of “The Whole Is Equal To the Sum Of Its Parts” to the focused beat punch of powerful singles such as “Paraffin” and “Tiny Meat.”
