Ruby followed "Paraffin" with "Tiny Meat", the second single from their debut album, Salt Peter, released in the US in 1995 on Work and Creation. It lives where trip hop's slow, smoky grooves run into industrial grit, a sultry, menacing crawl with a title that has no interest in being polite.
It's the song Ruby is best known for, and the only one of their singles to chart in America, peaking at 22 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks during spring 1996. In Britain it scraped in at 96.
