CRITIC’S PICK: Seems like every tour has to have a name these days. This one is dubbed the Ten Paces Tour, which not so coincidentally happens to be the title of the Ruen Brothers’ new album. The siblings were born and raised in the UK, but have moved to the States, which makes sense since their music is steeped in Western noir. Part folk rock, part quirky country, their press release uses the word cinematic to describe a sound that, with their yearning vocals, might fit well in a Tarantino flick. Offbeat and cool. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
With their dusky vocal harmonies and love of twangy ’50s rock, England’s Ruen Brothers have a sound that harks back to a rock & roll past but gives it a modern urgency. Emerging in London in 2013 with their rockabilly-tinged single “Aces,” the brothers caught the attention of Republic Records. From there, they moved to the States, where they recorded their debut album, 2018’s All My Shades of Blue, with legendary producer Rick Rubin. Although vintage rock, film noir, and western sounds remain at the core of Ruen Brothers sound, albums like 2021’s Ultramodern and 2023’s Ten Paces have revealed the duo’s post-modern knack for blending those old-school aesthetics with a contemporary pop sensibility.
