Coinciding with the special news, Reb has announced a new self-titled album along with a breathtaking new single titled Samson. Reb Fountain is due for release on May 1st on Flying Nun Records.

The recordings for Reb’s self-titled record came together in the seasoned walls of Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios. This came about after Fountain was asked to perform, record and tour with Finn on his Out of Silence album. Longtime studio collaborator and Head Engineer at Roundhead Simon Gooding manned the helm of their 3 week recording and mixing stint, alongside fellow musical collaborator Dave Khan on producing duties and Chris Chetland (owner of Kog Studios) who mastered the final result. Joining Reb in the studio to record the album, Ben Woolley of The Yarra Benders and drummer Logan Compain provided the intuitive backing, along with cameos from Finn Andrews and [Elroy Finn}. Reb revealed the first track off the album in March 2019 with Faster, accompanied by a video on Super-8 film by Lola Fountain-Best.
Fountain will perform at SXSW (March 13-22) following WOMAD New Zealand (March 13-15).

Praise for Reb Fountain:
“It’s all too easy to get swept up in a live performance by Reb Fountain. If you caught Reb’s recent Neil Young’s Live Rust tribute concert series or The Others Way Festival performance, you can vouch for the standing ovations.” - NZ Herald
“Reb Fountain is to be counted among our finest songwriters whose imagery is both personal and universal, and her command of a melody and a song transcends genre.” - Graham Reid, Elsewhere.co.nz
“If Fountain’s songs are strewn with images of the American west, it’s no affectation... It is, in a real sense, her vernacular. But wherever it comes from, this is excellent songwriting, and in a genre that has more than its share of claimants, really stands out.” - Nick Bollinger, RNZ National
