Reuben And The Dark: Dreaming

Driven by a ringing guitar riff and Reuben Bullock's vigorous vocal style, this cut from the Arms Of A Dream album has a yearning yet optimistic feel. It is accompanied by an eye-catching self-directed video shot in Barcelona.

Reuben And The Dark: Dreaming

By Kerry Doole

Reuben And The Dark - "Dreaming" (Arts & Crafts): The spirited folk-rock outfit led by songwriter/vocalist Reuben Bullock recently released a new album, Arms Of A Dream.


Driven by insistent ringing guitar and Bullock's energetic vocals, focus track "Dreaming" has a yearning yet optimistic feel (sample lyric: "let your mind run wild"), and the eye-catching self-directed video neatly accentuates this.

In a label press release the semi-professional skateboarder, Bulloch explains: "Barcelona is a holy city for skateboarding. It's always been a dream of mine to go to the city and skate, but I never thought music would be the thing to take me there."
