Ruthven announces full details of his long-awaited debut album. The South London singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer releases 'Rough & Ready' on 25 October 2024 via Paul Institute/XL Recordings. Ruthven - aka Sean Nelson - has always had a certain fervour associated with him. He first broke in 2017 as a founding member of Paul Institute, the label founded by A.K and Jai Paul, while also working as a member of the London Fire Brigade. In the long hours awaiting call-outs, when the truck was fully serviced and his breathing equipment was ready for the next job, Ruthven wrote the foundations of his debut album,
'Rough & Ready', which includes the previously released '123 Days', 'Don't Keep It to Yourself', and 'Have You Decided?'. The resulting 12-track record marks Ruthven's arrival as a true artist in his own right. 'Rough & Ready' leans into classic songwriting while maintaining lush instrumentation, creating a portal that traverses decades. With appearances from A.K. Paul and Francis Anthony 'Eg' White, 'Rough & Ready' is a bold statement of Ruthven's artistry.
