This time, we get to know Lunar Plexus, AKA John & Reuben. John writes all the songs (lyrics and music). John does all the singing (lead and backing). We share all the guitar and keyboard parts. Reub plays bass and drums. Reub does the recording, mixing and mastering although all musical and artistic decisions are made by mutual agreement. Lunar Plexus is a 50:50 collaborative project and the songs evolve along the way.
