“Koops has crafted an EP that is both upbeat and instantly engaging, mixing the infectious euphoria of The Lumineers with the defeating sincerity of James Bay. It is a mature EP of romantically euphoric folk, passionately delivered with gentle lyrical candour and served in a country-tinged pop ribbon.” - Charlotte Holroyd (Bitter Sweet Symphonies Blog UK)

Reuben Koops has today released the ‘Slate EP’; a fresh direction for the 21 year old Australian singer/songwriter. The Telstra Road To Discovery finalist has enlisted the work of some highly regarded Australian session musicians, including Cameron Bruce on keyboards (Paul Kelly, Josh Pyke) and Brett Wood on guitar (Pete Murray, 360, Electric Mary) to play on the EP. Combine this with Reuben’s talent as a singer/songwriter, add mix engineer Josh Telford and Grammy Award winning mastering engineer William Bowden (Gotye, Empire Of The Sun, The Living End) and this release is one not to be missed.

Single “Two Pieces speaks of a love gone wrong and the heartbreak that is leaves behind, leaving the lovers in turmoil and emotionally torn. Blossoming from humble acoustic roots of just guitar and voice, the track soon flourishes into a rich, heart-warming coo of piano-led folk anthemia”. - Charlotte Holroyd (Bitter Sweet Symphonies Blog UK)
