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
Me playing the ukulele and my blue Fender™ Start electric guitar layered over each other. This was created by me when my friend Derek Crofut (a.k.a. Derek Piotr) wanted me to record myself playing Ukelele, and then I recorded electric guitar over it, and then added in drums and deep sub bass. This song also samples several YouTube videos as part of the soundscape. The audio from the videos was skipping all over the place and playing at weird speeds because of the exceedingly poor internet connection at 30 Hilton Avenue, Woods Hole, MA 02543 where this was recorded, and other undetermined factors that have long been forgotten. GarageBand, however, faithfully recorded all of these technical difficulties while I played very untechnical ukulele, and then electric guitar over it. The videos were the result of me typing in "Björk" on YouTube, impatiently checking to see if she had released any new music, as it was near the end of the Volta era. However, it mostly just showed me content by Brant Bjork and things related to Mike Patton, the latter due to him having worked with her on her 2004 album Medúlla. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick music page at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music on Saturday 11/29/2008. The track artwork is a color-enhanced picture of the rocks near my family's beach in Woods Hole, MA, taken with my Mom's old digital camera. I compressed the image size to fit square dimensions and fit pixel requirements.
