Reuben’s Daughters
Leylanding, Reuben Myles Tyghe’s second album as Reuben’s Daughters released in December 2025, finds the UK singer/songwriter pushing the sound of his 2022 debut LP Mami Wata into new and fascinating places—recalling The Sea and Cake’s airy post-rock sonics, the woolly chamber-pop of Super Furry Animals godhead Gruff Rhys, and The Beta Band’s more acoustic moments.
Tyghe and his six piece band – who all made contributions to the new record – will tour Leylanding throughout 2026. The live show is psychedelic, progressive indie-folk that holds no allegiance to any one genre or current scene and aspires to be grounded in musical integrity and exchange.
