elbo.ws covers

In late 2007, Ruby isle started a project^[1] in which they covered the No. 1 song on indie music blog aggregator elbo.ws. The first pressing of their album Night Shot included all the covers from the first wave of this project:

"Shadow Falls" (Hello Blue Roses)
"Aly Walk with Me" (The Raveonettes)
"Tyrant" (Black Mountain)
"Foam Hands" (Destroyer)
"Gila" (Beach House)
"The Planes of Baltimore" (Stephen Malkmus/MIA)

Ruby Isle missed a week, so they took two week's number ones ("Baltimore" by Stephen Malkmus and "Paper Planes" by MIA) and created one "mash-up" cover

"Sax Rohmer No. 1" (The Mountain Goats)
"Cherry Tulips" (Headlights)

elbo.ws II

In January 2009, they started the project again, this time also making videos for the covers, which were posted on YouTube:

"White Winter Hymnal" (Fleet Foxes)
"Skinny Love" (Bon Iver)
"The Rake's Song" (The Decemberists)
"My Girls (Animal Collective)
"Short Fuse" (Black Lips)
"Now We Can See" (The Thermals)
