John Reuben’s Latest Hits Streets December 22nd

Just in time to be a stocking stuffer, John Reuben’s latest album, Sex, Drugs and Self-Control hits stores December 22nd through Gotee Records.

In addition, Gotee is offering a special Christmas deal at the official Gotee online store.  With any pre-order of Sex, Drugs and Self-Control for a special $7 price, you receive a free copy of Reuben’s 2007 CD Word of Mouth.

Produced with long time collaborator and drummer Seth Earnest, SEX, DRUGS AND SELF-CONTROL balances struggling with tough topics with simple observations of daily life.  Boasting a full lineup from Reuben’s home state Ohio, the album was written and recorded in his Columbus studio, all musicians (aside from an appearance from friends Deas Vail) are from there.

With live instruments and drum loops, Reuben achieves a sound that suggests the influence of artists like Beck and the Dust Brothers. His personality once again sets this album apart lyrically and brings it to life.

“My goals artistically are so intertwined with what I’m experiencing spiritually that it’s impossible to separate the two,” explains Reuben. “I’m most creative when I feel close to the heart of God. It’s only then that certain spiritual disciplines seem freeing and inspiring instead of restricting. It’s only in that place that spiritual disciplines feel like an authentic expression instead of rigid censorship. In a lot of ways this record is a confession of faith and lack thereof.”

The album is available everywhere December 22nd.
