Ruben Block has been Belgium-based rock band Triggerfinger’s front man since 1998, writing the bulk of the band’s five album’s worth of material, singing lead, and playing guitar. When recording Triggerfinger’s fifth album “Colossus” in L.A. with Mitchell Froom, Block and Froom hit it off and start talking about something that had been on Block’s mind for a while. Even during his band’s pretty intense touring/recording schedule, the idea “solo record” had come up before. Froom expressing interest in a project was all the coaxing Block needed, and from the first talks of a Ruben Block solo project in 2017, numerous trips to L.A. in between touring in 2018 and 2019 and many man hours with both Block and Froom writing, producing ànd performing later, “Lights” is the first sound you’re hearing from this venture. Block working with Froom as a duo has kept them from staying in the safe environment of making a band/rock album, and that has worked out beautifully.
