Reb Fountain Releases Hypnotic New Single “Foxbright”

New Zealand folk songstress Reb Fountain has revealed her latest acoustic prize “Foxbright” via Flying Nun Records. “Foxbright” features Reb’s enchanting voice that sends listeners into a trance through the hypnotic raw melodies and accompanied by the beautifully soft acoustic guitar.

“Foxbright” is a reminder that there’s love to be found even when we can’t find it in ourselves. Reb wrote “Foxbright” on the piano in one day, but as with all songs it’s made up of what’s come before; wild fragments in total eclipse. The simple verses, the declaratory motif and extended mid-section were connected by a chorus with a repeating melody.

“When I played ‘Foxbright’ to Dave Khan he said, ‘that melody is the bass line’. I love that about the chorus; it’s a subtle and hypnotic imprint fully formed,” said Reb.

We’ve all had a turn at hiding of late; the burrow’s the place we head to when in headlights. Lola Fountain-Best and Reb created an unadorned video landscape in which to observe the state of play. Dressing the set like a re-imagined blanket fort, they borrowed a 16mm film projector to project industrial film footage from the 1950’s onto Reb’s body. The result is a beautiful and intimate expression of our nature.

“Foxbright” presents as the fourth helping from Reb Fountain’s upcoming album IRIS, following “Lacuna,” “Beastie,” and “Heart.” IRIS is out via Flying Nun Records on October 1st , 2021 on both black and turquoise vinyl, CD and digitally.
