One of the best things about Elite Gymnastics’ Ruin project is that it could potentially go on ad infinitum, and given the duos creative range (see: video for Korallreven's "Sa Sa Samoa") who knows what forms 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... will take. That said, we now know what 3 and 4 will look like. Ruin 3 takes the form of a website featuring downloads of reinterpretations by How To Dress Well, CFCF, Physical Therapy & LOL Boys and others and Ruin 4 will include a T-shirt and CD compilation featuring remixes of tracks from Ruin as well as unheard originals from the early sessions. It lovingly combines all the creative kernels laid out in 1-3 in one complete package available in physical form May 8th, and for preorder right now over at Acéphale. As a teaser, download CFCF’s two-part take on "Here, In Heaven" below and go see Elite Gymnastics on the road with Sleigh Bells.
