Reb Fountain – Reb Fountain

Sounds amazing on vinyl once you wet clean your way past the filth on the record from the factory. Astonishing that a brand new sealed record can be that dirty and marked but mine plays very well after a few rounds of Spin Clean and play.

Ooh audiophiles take heed. Sounds just gorgoeus. Open, quiet, deep, clear. Really nice pressing, well engineered.
And then there’s the songs and performances. If you are remotely interested just go for it. A fabulous production all round!

Reb Fountain's self-titled CD is a delightful set from this New Zealand singer. Her song "Samson" hangs on a simple piano and bass riff and blooms into a catchy mid-tempo gem, "Tell me that you're crazy, like my love; Warn me like you're crazy, like my love; Kiss me like you're crazy, crazy for me baby." "It's A Bird (It's A Plane)" uses the Superman tag line to reflect a passionate love affair with her backing vocals making the track fly, "Wild and waiting for ya, meet that dizzy girl head on." Perhaps the best track to my ear is the duet she performs The Veils' lead singer Finn Andrews, "When Gods Lie," "Acting messed up when you held my head up; Touch me like there's nothing else; We're getting older now, there's still time left." This melodic rock shines with the bittersweet feeling of someone who has been knocked about by love, but still searches for that last great romance.
