Riiver Brukes

It happened years ago on a late-night bus ride, the faint smell of a chugging diesel engine, the chill of empty vinyl seats and buildings slipping by row after row - yellow squares bright against the blanketed blackness of a heavy winter’s night.

The vision of people warm inside: some laughing, some fighting, some just quietly enduring. From the outside looking in, it all seemed eerily similar…yet each one its own hidden world of stories, dreams, and silent struggles. In that solitary moment and watching everything flash by, the foundation was set for what would eventually become the profoundly introspective slow burn of Riiver Bruke’s song,  ‘Little Boxes’.

Song available on all major digital platforms. Link to music video will be posted 10am, Thursday 26th, 2026.
