A letter from Reuben and the Dark:

I’ve always thought of music as a kind of medicine - for myself initially, and then hopefully for the people who hear it. Over the last decade with Reuben and the Dark, I’ve had the chance to share songs across North America and Europe, from small clubs to major festivals, alongside artists like Vance Joy, Mumford and Sons, and The Paper Kites. Every stage has been another step in a journey that’s as much about community and connection as it is about music.

This year also marks the eleven year anniversary of Funeral Sky, our debut record. Looking back on that album - the one that started it all - while preparing to release new music has been grounding. It’s a reminder of how far the songs have carried me and how much they continue to evolve with the people who listen and sing them back.

My songs have found their way into films and television - Killers of the Flower Moon, Breaking Bad, The Highwaymen, Grey’s Anatomy - spaces where the music takes on a life larger than my own story. And in the last few years, my work with the Bullhorn Singers, a Blackfoot Powwow group from Kainai, has become one of the most meaningful chapters of my career. Together we’ve toured, performed at Indigenous schools and communities across Canada, and released our first album together in 2025. What started as a collaboration has grown into family, and into music that feels bigger than me.

Now, as I look ahead to our fifth full-length record, I feel like I’m starting fresh; building something independent for the first time in my career, while still carrying all the roads and stories that brought me here. At the core, Reuben and the Dark has always been about honesty and finding beauty in the shadows, and I think the music we’re making now reflects that more than ever.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. The best is yet to come.

\-Reuben
