With the release of Reuben and the Dark’s upcoming album, un | love, only a few days, the spirited alt-folk outfit is today releasing another new song from the album. “dancer” is one of those tracks that songwriter Reuben Bullock isn’t sure how to talk about yet. “It’s so sensitive...including this song on the record was a pivotal moment in deciding just how open I was willing to be with an audience,” says Bullock. “‘dancer’ ended up setting a tone for un | love. It is vulnerability’s lullaby. It is honest. It is soft. It is empathy and also an apology. An attempt at shining a light into a very dark place.”
Recently, Reuben and the Dark’s track “Black Water” from their debut album was featured in the long-anticipated trailer for Netflix’s El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Now Bullock is lending his voice to another block-buster trailer, performing “What A Wonderful World” on the trailer for the upcoming film Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, Ralph Fiennes, and more.

un | love is Reuben’s most honest and captivating album to date, opening a window into one of the most dramatic times in Bullock’s life. The spirited band’s third record – following 2018’s Arms of a Dream, and 2014’s debut Funeral Sky – tells Reuben’s story of endings and hope for the future. The forthcoming collection is a bare, cathartic exploration of life’s undeniable crossroads, and the fateful depths that await there. As Reuben sings on “rising”:
to fall in love
and blow away
come what may
my mind is made
Produced by Reuben and the Dark with Marcus Paquin (The National, Timber Timbre, Local Natives) and Kevin Drew (of Broken Social Scene), un | love evokes the raw emotion of the songs with anthemic, atmospheric sound. In comparison to the polished songs of Arms of a Dream, the new album shows a drastic turn in Reuben’s ease as a writer and freedom as a recording artist. His voice is at once unbridled and fallible. Through the dense imagery of his poetry shines a light shot straight from Reuben’s soul.
