The Rubens said: “We are absolutely thrilled to take out #1 on our fourth album, the first time to land the position for us. We uploaded our first track on triple j unearthed ten years ago and to be still doing what we love and connecting with fans all over the world means so much to us, especially after such a tough year for our industry as a whole. To Ivy League Records/Mushroom, Grow Yourself Up and the rest of our team, thanks for your hard work and support. To our families, absolute rocks. To our fans old and new, thank you for coming on our journey and getting behind us. We cannot wait to hit the road to share the new album live.”

It’s an incredible feat ten years into a career, and I look forward to seeing them continue to knock down more milestones into the next ten and beyond. I also want to congratulate everyone in The Rubens team, Ivy League Records and Mushroom.”
