Busy day for the Minneapolis duo of James Brooks and Josh Clancy, better known as Elite Gymnastics. The k-pop adoring, .gif personified electro pop group released Ruin 3, the follow up to Ruin 1 & 2 featuring various remixes and reworks from the likes of How To Dress Well, CFCF and others. They also announced Ruin 4 for release on Acephale on May 8th which is a compilation of the Ruin 3 remixes and some unreleased new music. It’s also packaged with a nice t-shirt and some buttons, so Ruin 4 is kind of the ultimate release for passionate fans. Ruin 3 is downloadable now for free, which you can find here, but you can stream “h e r e , i n h e a v e n 4 & 5 (CFCF Remix)” below if you’re interested. Pre-orders for Ruin 4 are also being taken here. Elite Gymnastics will also head out on their first proper tour in April, passing through a number of cities as they open for Sleigh Bells.
