“Unleashed and unafraid, Reb Fountain is a revelation.” Alex Behan, Sunday Star Times / stuff.co.nz
Fountain’s new self-titled album is released via iconic NZ label Flying Nun in 2020. Due to the surreal times a global pandemic Reb’s album was released in New Zealand and online on May 1st and is set for international release on August 14th 2020.
Gaining critical acclaim in Aotearoa, New Zealand, Reb’s latest single Don’t You Know Who I Am has been shortlisted for New Zealand’s premier songwriting award, the APRA Silver Scroll. A series of outstanding music videos have been made to accompany each single all directed and edited by local filmmaker, Lola Fountain-Best.
Award winning songwriter Reb Fountain was born in San Francisco and immigrated with her family from North America to Lyttelton — the quiet port town out of Christchurch that’s been fundamental to South Island’s folk scene, raising artists like Delaney Davidson, Marlon Williams and Aldous Harding.
Fountain’s new album was recorded at Neil Finn’s (Crowded House, Fleetwood Mac) own Roundhead Studios. Reb and Neil became friends after Reb was invited to perform, record and tour with Neil for his ‘Out of Silence’ album release. Simon Gooding (Ed Sheeran, P!nk, Migos, Dua Lipa) is a close friend of Reb’s and they have worked extensively together on her various musical projects. He took the helm for their 3-week stint of recording and mixing alongside supporting stalwart musical director and accomplished musician Dave Khan with production.

What the Press Are Saying:
U.S.
"A step towards mysticism ... the New Zealand-based artist’s forthcoming self-titled LP has Nick Cave running through its veins." The FADER
“Noir punk-folk a la Nick Cave.” Northern Transmissions
“In ‘When Gods Lie’ Fountain’s dramatic yet pristine vocals get an assist from the quivering tones of The Veils’ singer Finn Andrews, the contrasting timber adding weight to the pained love of the lyrics.” Consequence of Sound
AUSTRALIA
“A beguiling, left-of-centre track (Samson) sees Fountain embrace an alt-folk-pop vibe with moody, spoken verses transforming into a hypnotic chorus driven by a restrained but insistent synth beat. It is a brilliantly constructed song that is testament to Fountain’s remarkable musicality.” Women In Pop
“(Reb) beckons to you, leading you through lyrical dramas of disillusionment and disbelief with such grace that you feel like you’re living them. The album also showcases variant, pulsating instrumentation, creating a simultaneously soaring and mellow listen.” CrushCop
“This album brings together the influence of poets like Patti Smith, alt-rock musicians like Nick Cave, new folk artists like Angus and Julia Stone, and soul and blues acts such as Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters, to create something all of its own.” The Music Files
“Noir piano and spoken lyrics form the shape of Reb Fountain’s cinematic single Samson. Mixing together dark, soft-rock and nostalgic musings; Samson is a penetrative track which digs its roots into innate curiosity.” India Marx
“Reb is a real free spirit, a wanderer at heart; and you can imagine her frolicking in fields of flowers as readily as taking the mic in a smoky dive-bar. The album showcases this amalgamation of folk and alt-rock influence perfectly, creating a simultaneously mellow and mysterious listen.” The Music Files
New Zealand
Her voice is clearer, stronger, easily flipping between low, spoken tones and lighter, elevating melodies. The self-titled Flying Nun debut for Reb Fountain is not just a change in direction, it's a powerful artistic flex. Unleashed and unafraid, Reb Fountain is a revelation” Sunday Star Times / stuff.co.nz
“Lead single 'Samson' let slip the LP’s gritty folk sounds to come, somewhere between Lou Reed and Angel Olsen. It builds an image of Fountain as this commanding, insightful songwriter who shouldn’t be messed with” Undertheradar.co.nz
“It’s a dark, mysterious music Reb Fountain makes; stark chords framing a voice that can switch from a whisper to a wail, and does at various times during this brooding, slow-burner of an album... like some of the best music it doesn’t give up all its secrets at once. There are melodies and meanings here that only repeated listenings will unlock.” Nick Bollinger Radio NZ National
”A skin-shedding moment, this might be Reb Fountain’s most commercial work but it’s also her best. Ambient Light
“We had glimpses of Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams and Nick Cave flashing through a confident and almost defiant Fountain of Reb ....what we get is a meticulously produced and engineered album with all the subtleties of a masterpiece. Radio 13 - 5 Stars
“Reb Fountain’s latest release is more than an album: it’s a sonic experience... Her pitching is impeccable, and her timbre is
otherworldly.” Music.net.nz - 5 Stars
