Reuben and The Dark begins 2016 on a remarkable note, delivering its most impactful music yet upon the start of its most significant tour to date. Following the resounding success of the captivating debut album, Funeral Sky, the arrival of new single “Heart In Two” suggests an artist escalating to the next level, on the cusp of a North American tour supporting popular Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy. Produced by Funeral Sky’s Stephen Kozmeniuk(Kendrick Lamar, BANNERS, Madonna), and mixed by Matty Green (TV On The Radio, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran), “Heart In Two” showcases frontman Reuben Bullock’s growth as a songwriter, with new heights of sonic clarity anchored by uncharted depths of lyrical spirit. His breathtaking live band kicks off its 23-date tour tonight in Vancouver, the first of two nights at Orpheum Theatre. The sold out tour includes multi-night stands in Toronto (Massey Hall), Montreal (Metropolis), and Chicago (Riviera), as well as stops in Kelowna, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Windsor, Quebec, Rimouski, Moncton, Halifax, and more. All tour dates are listed below and can also be found HERE. “Heart In Two” is available today exclusively via GalleryAC, and January 15 via all digital service providers.

“Heart In Two” is a triumphant song about love, light, and darkness. Reuben is a natural storyteller, painting melody-laden images of shadow and sunlight, unfurled over colossal drums and timeless chorus: I broke my heart in two / One for me and one for you, Reuben sings in a voice charmed by wisdom but sweetened with innocence. With “Heart In Two”, Reuben takes the plodding, haunted folk of “Rolling Stone” with the lush dramatics of “Bow And Arrow” to create his most undeniable anthem yet. A gently spiralling guitar melody mingles with rousing orchestration and spectral ambience, building in a perfect arc of evocative production and climactic pause.

Reuben And The Dark is the project borne from songwriter/vocalist Reuben Bullock's reflection on the world. Bullock makes chilling, emotive folk and soul driven by dark, introspective lyrics that explore the duality of misery and joy. Reuben And The Dark has emerged organically from Canada's stellar independent scene on the strength of often anthemic compositions that translate the language of emotion into song with haunting clarity. The celebrated debut album, Funeral Sky, received widespread critical praise and earned a passionate audience through incessant touring and the live five-piece’s enchanting performances. Reuben And The Dark supported Australian bands Boy & Bear and The Paper Kites on tour throughout North America, as well as appearing at festivals like Austin City Limits, Osheaga, Squamish Valley Music Festival, Edmonton Folk, Calgary Folk, and much more.
