​Reb Fountain (from the album Reb Fountain on Flying Nun Records)
The music surrounding Reb Fountain on her self-titled release is respectful, barely whispering a rhythm on “Strangers” and lazily drifting alongside the dreamy moods in “Lighthouse”. The piano plays an instrumental role when staccato taps guide Reb Fountain’s footsteps across “It’s a Bird (It’s a Plane)” while fingers touch ivory keys gently, scattering random notes to open “Quiet Like the Rain”, and solidifying to become a set pattern of bass tones drumming a trance for the mystical telling of “Samson”.
 
Born in San Francisco, California Reb Fountain emigrated with her family from America to Lyttleton, a port city in Christchurch, New Zealand, a hub for the South Island’s Folk scene. Reb Fountain makes spells of her songs, her vocals enticing and seducing as she sketches a lovers end in “The Last Word” while a male/female conversation becomes the storyline for “When Gods Lie”. Opening the album with a stomp of rhythm, “Hawks and Doves” marches on a determined pace as a world-weary beat trudges underneath Reb Fountain when she pontificates on a worldview asking “Don’t You Know Who I Am”.
