Today, Reuben And The Dark have shared the heart-wrenching video for “All Or Nothing”, from the forthcoming Arms Of A Dream LP out May 4 on Arts & Crafts. Atwood Magazine called the video "A bold and surreal confrontation of family...an anthem of protest, love, and desperation."

Directed by songwriter/vocalist Reuben Bullock’s wife Kaelen Ohm, the video features personal and powerful performances from a diverse cast, choreographing both the tender and tenacious nature of identity and relationships.
Reuben and Kaelen explain: “Our journey in love together has been tested by many storms. This video paints a picture of some of those moments in time. The fragility and complicated nature of the human experience, coupled with it’s incredible beauty, belongs to everyone and hopefully we discover that more and more, so that we can recognize our unity more than we can our divide."
Kaelen adds: “There is still such divide and segregation in the world and so much work we have to do in the line of inclusivity, tolerance and peace. There are however some very simple, universal elements of the human experience that connect us all - love, grief, belonging, identity - we all, no matter what our story is or where we come from, can probably find a way to relate to each other through various expressions of these experiences.”
“All Or Nothing” is currently #22 on the Canadian Alternative Radio Charts and at #3 on the CBC Radio 3 Top 30. The video follows the release of title track “Arms of a Dream” from the upcoming album. Arms Of A Dream finds Reuben And The Dark working outside its comfort zone, both musically and lyrically. The result is Bullock’s most vivid and transformative music to date: an intimate exploration of the inversion of imagination and reality in dreams. The album will be available on LP, CD and digital formats, plus a limited edition of 100 white vinyl available by pre-order only.
