Reuben and the Dark have announced the details of their upcoming EP Coming Like a Storm, and have shared an anticipatory new single "Timelapse Clouds" ahead of the release.
The Calgary alt-folk outfit's new three-song collection, kickstarted by the collaboration with Kainai-Bloodtribe the Bullhorn Singers, is to be released via Arts & Crafts on June 10. It follows their 2019 LP un | love.
The new record finds bandleader Reuben Bullock at the beating centre of a dissolving relationship, capturing the whimsical nature of its fluctuations by combining heartfelt instrumental arrangements and anthemic melodies.
"As human beings, some of the human experience comes with happiness, sadness, joy and pain. This is life," said the Bullhorn Singers' Billy Wadsworth of the new single. "We express the emotion in songs when we sing and when we hear Reuben and the Dark songs, we feel that same energy."
Wadsworth continued: "This is what we try to replicate when we accompany Reuben in any of the songs we are included in — emotion is universal, and we hope to add this vibration when we sing."
Of the collaboration, Bullock added: "A feeling of weightlessness was in the room when we sang together — in English and in Blackfoot; two worlds meeting on an emotional plane, transcending all of the things I know about music. It was truly a magical coming-together. Full of spirit. We captured something so pure and powerful together, and effortlessly too. I really feel like this is the most beautiful song we have ever made."
Reuben and the Dark's fourth full-length album is anticipated this fall.
