Ruby and Resin Find Listeners for The Fall, From a Lilith Fair Playlist to Indie Radio
An American Piano-Led Duo Reaches Fans of Nineties Singer-Songwriters with a Self-Released Debut
The Fall by Ruby and Resin came out on 22 September 2026. It is the self-released debut single from a piano-led indie pop duo from Denver, United States, who shared a demo version first. The interesting part is who has found it since: a Lilith Fair playlist, a listener series and an indie radio show. This piece follows those listeners, and the community the duo is building around them.
Ruby and Resin’s The Fall is in our playlist below, the duo’s debut single and their first finished song, and their coverage now lives on the Ruby and Resin profile. PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news sites, brought The Fall to IndieMusic.News. Press play, then keep reading for the listeners it has already found.
The Fall by Ruby and Resin Suits Listeners Who Grew Up on Piano-Led Nineties Songwriters
Start with the two people in the duo. Jenn Friedman wrote The Fall, sings the lead and backing vocals and plays piano. Ben Johnson produced it and plays electric guitar, bass, drums and synthesiser, and Zeno Pittarelli mixed it.
Also, the duo sums up its own sound in three parts: vocals, piano and atmosphere. The finished single runs three minutes and 22 seconds, eight seconds longer than the demo that came before it.
That description points straight at a particular listener. Sarah McLachlan founded Lilith Fair, the travelling festival that ran every summer from 1997 to 1999. Its bill featured only women and female-led bands. In its first three years it raised more than $10 million for charity, and McLachlan’s own Surfacing, released in 1997, won two Grammy Awards.
Tori Amos is the other half of that picture. She is a classically trained pianist who entered the Peabody Institute’s preparatory division at five, and she broke through as a solo artist in the early 1990s. So a song led by piano and voice, made for close listening, is the kind of record that generation still looks for.
Early Response to The Fall by Ruby and Resin Came From a Lilith Fair Playlist and Radio
So it fits that the first outside support came from exactly that audience. Jill Ann Brooks added The Fall to her Spotify playlist Lilith Fair – Then and Now, which sets new songs next to the festival’s era. The duo called the inclusion a special treat.
Then the 1000 Under 1000 series gave its 53rd episode to The Fall, and the duo shared it with their followers as a debut’s first piece of outside attention.
Radio is next. Glacer FM, an online station, is due to play The Fall on Sunday 8 November at 10.15pm Eastern time, and the duo has been telling followers where to listen.
The Community Ruby and Resin Are Building Around The Fall, One Unfinished Song at a Time
The other side of the story is the one the duo builds themselves. Nearly 850 people follow Ruby and Resin on Instagram, and the account works like a window into the band rather than an advert. An email list, linked from their profile, promises updates about The Fall and what comes after it.
They also share songs before they are finished. One recent clip shows a new song being practised, with part of the bridge and chorus taking shape. Another comes with an apology for low vocals because of a microphone problem, plus a promise to fix it. The duo calls this the edge of vulnerability, and it is clearly part of the appeal.
There is humour too, because the pair do not take themselves too seriously. For Halloween 2026 the pair dressed as Sir James C. Maxwell and Lady Cumberland, with their dog, Rocky, in the frame. It is the kind of post that turns listeners into a community.
Still, The Fall was only the first song Ruby and Resin finished in public. The duo is already building the next one in front of the same people who found this one.
From the IndieMusic.News curator team: “We placed The Fall fifth in our Soft Pop, Soft Rock, Folk, Relaxing playlist, straight after KALEO’s All the Pretty Girls. It slows that run down in the best way, with Friedman’s piano at the centre.”
