Ruin Everything is the fifth studio album Stockholm psychedelic-rock pioneers Les Big Byrd. Since forming in 2011, the four piece have perfected their blend of space rock, hypnotizing psychedelia and disciplined kraut. Fronted by songwriter and producer Jocke Åhlund, Les Big Byrd have toured around the world while building a rabid following, alternating between being one of Sweden's biggest rock bands at home and an underground psych act abroad. After the experimental and instrumental heavy Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain (2024), Ruin Everything finds Les Big Byrd returning to a more song-focused setting, reminiscent of their 2018 classic Iran Iraq IKEA. With the band's most adventurous tendencies reined in in favour of a tighter, more focused sound ranging from the dystopian epic "Big Flood" to the full-throttle space rock of "Hökvind", Ruin Everything is Les Big Byrd at their best yet.
