Reuben Walton is an artist and songwriter originally from Cape Cod, MA and currently based in Woods Hole, MA. His work spans multiple genres with a pop-centric focus. A graduate of UMass Lowell and Sturgis Charter Public School, Walton's involvement in music has been a longterm passion with a steady shift towards original material beginning in high school. From his beginnings with choral ensembles, avant garde lo-fi dadaist compositions and earnest cover songs, to his free-flowing explorations of hip hop, atmospheric R&B and plaintive pop melodies, Walton brings a unique perspective that is both vulnerable and playful, his vocals and ear for melody and rhythm forming much of the common element unifying his body of work. His modest career highlights have included performances at UMass Lowell's annual Mothers of Rock concert and various venues in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Currently he is in the process of assembling a short EP with producer AVLI Music of Avli Music Productions in Woodland Hills, CA, in addition to working on a variety of side projects and collaborations.

Story behind the song
My friend Derek Piotr (a.k.a. Derek Crofut) wanted to sing a cover of "Vertebræ By Vertebræ" by Björk, off of her then-current 2007 album Volta, which we were both somewhat obsessed with at the time. He's talking about our friend Brian Hayes from North Carolina in the beginning, who we knew through MySpace and because he was also a huge Björk fan. This was recorded with him singing via the house phone, in my bedroom at 172 Elm Road, Falmouth, MA, 02540, United States. The track artwork is a sepia picture of my late friend Amber Scanlan taken in her bedroom at F-22 Chilmark Drive, East Falmouth, MA 02536, with the more brightly lit hallway showing in the background through her open bedroom door. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick music page at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music on Sunday 9/30/2007. from Diamonds and Plastic, released March 30, 2011 Vocals by Derek Crofut and Reuben Walton Vocal production by Reuben Walton Lyrics by Björk Gudmundsdóttir Composed by Björk Gudmundsdóttir, Derek Crofut and Reuben Walton Programming by Reuben Walton Produced by Reuben Walton Recorded by Reuben Walton Mixed by Reuben Walton Edited by Reuben Walton Track artwork by Reuben Walton and Amber Scanlan

Derek Piotr: He, he just kinda showed me how to, like, if you reverse the note that you're going to blend in before you blend it in, it sounds better. Reuben Walton: Really? DP: Yeah. So, I'm gonna try a few things. But, yeah, let me know when. RW: Okay, you can go now. DP: Up on the toe, hmm hmm there is a view up on the toe, and the spine straight and erect, hungry and curious, up on the toe, looking forward to umm oooh the air is thinner here a-a-a-a-hahahaha she came here to lose her fate she got down on her knees the beast is back on four legs set her clock to the moon raises her spine woowoaho vertebræ by vertebræ up on the toe it can oooh all I have been filled with this steam for months for years same old cloud claustrophobic me let it burst--like old train sounds, make them relieve nature uhummaywooo aiewohoooyeah aaaaa aaa vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ by vertebræ my arms ooze out of my shoulders and the arms ooze out of my shoulders I curl my tail I curl my tail in words big words in words and I set my clock
