The perfect extension of her 2020 self-titled record,
IRIS elevates Reb Fountainí»s music to new heights. Reb
effortlessly combines pop elements with her trademark
noir folk-punk sound; weaving authentic and anthemic
tunes that create an instant and indelible impression.
Written during lockdown in 202, Reb has said on the
album í░Writing a song a day to keep myself grounded and
productive during lockdown, IRIS provided me an
opportunity to speak my unspoken, to reflect what I have
seen and experienced from within and to bear witness.í▒
Diving into the deeper meaning of the albumí»s namesake,
Reb says í░Iris is in many ways an unsung hero, known as
the goddess of the rainbow, sea and sky, she acts as
bridge between the gods to humanity with little of her
own story known. So many stories go unheard, so many
aspects of our humanity are unsung; visibility is a
contested and inequitable space where what is essential
and of beauty is often í«invisibleí». I wanted and
needed to give voice to this essential human spirit; to
conjure and hold and commune with the very real, valid
and invaluable voices within and around me.í▒
The award-winning songwriter, Reb Fountain, is a
consummate recording artist and performer;
spell-bounding audiences with her music and artistry
alike. Throughout 2020, Reb and her all-star band (Dave
Khan, Karin Canzek and Earl Robertson) astounded
audiences around the country on her sold out album
release tour.
Reb was born in San Francisco and immigrated with her
family from North America to Lyttelton í¬ the quiet port
town out of Christchurch thatí»s been fundamental to New
Zealandí»s alt-folk scene, raising artists like Marlon
Williams, Aldous Harding, and Delaney Davidson.
