The Rubens

H i there in your cushion castle, with your legs all twisted up like a candycane and your doona round your head. We're (almost) half-way through winter! I hope your heater's cranked as high as The Rubens' is (I'm not sure if you noticed but Sam Margin is wearing slides in that photo up there). Florence Welch likely doesn't feel the cold at all, firstly because she's from London and secondly because she's magical, and can probably self- regulate like those thermo-conforming reptiles. The new album from Florence + the Machine, High As Hope , will definitely warm you up; check out our feature on pages 58-59 where she details why dancing about your problems is a cool and wholesome thing to do. We also spoke to Didirri, Nine Inch Nails' Atticus Ross, Amy Shark, Jack River, Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine, and Sam's brother Elliott fromThe Rubens. Zo ë Radas (Music Editor)
