RUBY ARCHER
WORSHIP THE FLORA
RELEASE & LAUNCH
Worship the Flora marks a fearless new chapter in Ruby Archer’s artistry. Making her debut as producer, Ruby takes full creative control of her album - writing, recording and shaping every element from her eternally messy “woman cave”. Building on her jazzy-pop foundations, Ruby pushes into darker, more atmospheric soundscapes, exploring new textures, arrangements and sounds along the way. The result is a bold and eclectic collection of songs, ranging from gritty electro-pop bangers to achingly beautiful, jazz-infused ballads. Mixed by legendary engineer and producer Scott Horscroft at Grove Studios, Worship the Flora will be released by Moments Label in partnership with New York-based Downtown Music on the 9th of October, 2026.
The album’s first single, COMMITTER OF CRIME, received strong reviews, with Tommy Faith from triple j Unearthed describing it as “so raw! so sinister!” while applauding Ruby’s “strength, sensuality, confidence and power.” Her second single, Oh So Cynical, was praised by triple j’s Anika Luna, who said Ruby was “really pulling the expanse of her artistry - you can hear that exploration in real time <3.” The title track, Worship the Flora, was featured on triple j Unearthed Tops, with Music Director Andy Gavrilovic describing it as a “dark and captivating journey” into Ruby’s “avant-garde pop world”.
The Worship the Flora album launch is an extension of the work itself and takes place at the FunHaus in Gosford on Saturday the 10th of October. With her newly formed band, Ruby brings the album’s dynamic shifts and vulnerability to the stage. The show captures Ruby at her most raw, passionate and creatively immersed, offering audiences an insight into her fearlessness and strength as an artist at this exciting moment in her career. Tickets are on sale now, with early bird tickets available until the 31st of August.
