(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.
