The acoustic video for "Haystacks," off emerging English musician, producer and engineer Reuben Hollebon's debut album Terminal Nostalgia (out now on Bright Antenna), is premiering via Impose Magazine.
The video was shot in Hollebon's friend's caravan, a mile away from the housing estate where he grew up, in Norwich, UK. The song is a tale of a lost boy from Hollebon's youth who got caught setting a field on fire.

To further celebrate the release of Terminal Nostalgia, Hollebon has confirmed U.S. tour dates this September, supporting Joseph Arthur. The tour kicks off September 11 in San Francisco and will make further stops in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Denver and Minneapolis among others. See below for more details.
The debut continues to receive critical praise both stateside and abroad-Nerdist explains, "Somewhere in the chasm between mischief and terror, is Reuben Hollebon's unsettling, magnetic music," and Clash calls it a "Darkly poetic piece of work of electronic noir and poised lyricism," while Magnet furthers it's "Reminiscent of early Bright Eyes...moody...dark and quavering." The album's single, "Faces," has received airplay on AAA radio stations across the U.S., including KCRW, The Current, Colorado Public Radio and more.
Hollebon grew up on a housing estate in small-town Norfolk, UK and didn't pick up a guitar until he was 18. He went to Huddersfield University to study music and audio systems, and afterwards moved to London where he began working as a studio engineer for composer Nitin Sawhney. There he got an education working on soundtracks, albums and orchestral recordings, before moving on to creating and performing music of his own.
