Reuben Hollebon, from Norfolk, UK, is a folk songwriter with a diverse sound. His new EP, Clutch, is a blend of fingerpicked guitar and other jangly instruments that pick up the pace and turn regular songwriter material into a much fuller sound. He is equally adept at hushed and haunting melancholic outpourings (‘Seven’), and more upbeat tracks that skip along with foot-tapping energy (‘Home’). A lazy comparison would be Keaton Henson’s ’Dear…’ meeting a folk rock band like Peter Wolf Crier. Listen to the first track on the release below.
Clutch is available to stream on Bandcamp and is due out on 10th December on Akira Records.
