(L to R) My Morning Jacket, Reb Fountain and Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit

Reb Fountain
Iris
(Flying Nun Records)
★★★

COMING out of the same New Zealand alt-folk scene as Aldous Harding and Marlon Williams, the second record from Reb Fountain may be the one to break her outside Australasia.

Co-produced by Dave Khan and Simon Gooding, there is a quiet confidence to the pop-noir contained within, her commanding vocals setting her apart from other indie artists.


My Morning Jacket
(ATO Records)
★★★★


Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit
Georgia Blue
(Southeastern Records)
★★★★
