Reb Fountain announces her highly anticipated new album Water For Gasoline, due for release on Friday 14 August via Fountain Records, alongside the arrival of its rousing first single ‘Good People’, available now.  

Water for Gasoline marks a significant creative departure for Reb Fountain. Written and recorded in Fountain's own garage studio this year, Fountain’s new album captures the spontaneity and vulnerability of her creative process. Recorded live, most songs in a single take, written and reshaped during recording and evolving naturally in the room, Water for Gasoline exemplifies Fountain’s clarity, confidence and courage as a songwriter and performer. Rather than chasing perfection, and without the added pressure of hiring an external recording studio, Fountain and long-time collaborators Dave Khan, Simon Gooding and Earl Robertson, embraced instinct; trusting both the songs and each other to follow wherever the music wanted to lead.

The result is Water for Gasoline; a collection that feels alive, beautifully imperfect, human and relevant. Listeners are welcomed directly into Fountain's creative world, hearing the songs almost exactly as they came into existence. It's a celebration of craft, of trusting the process. It’s music made about people, by people, for the people. 

Water For Gasoline delivers another striking body of work from one of New Zealand's most acclaimed contemporary artists, a record that confronts the challenges of our times while searching for light, beauty and connection amongst the noise.

Artist Profile

Reb Fountain

Reb Fountain is a premium New Zealand award-winning artist. Her Flying Nun debut Reb Fountain and sophomore IRIS were both released to critical acclaim with MOJO’s Martin Aston calling Reb, “New Zealand’s next alt-folk sensation” and Rolling Stone heralding, “it’s impossible not to be moved on this journey.”

Invoking a blend of folk, art-pop and rock unrivaled in Aotearoa, “her sound is genre defying, the set seamlessly transitions from songs that wouldn’t go amiss on a Bond soundtrack, to electro pop, to rock and folk but it flows in to one unmistakable sound.” (Subba-Cultcha)
Reb is renowned for her spell-binding live performances, unparalleled voice & magnetic on-stage presence. “Shaman-like, Fountain moves across the stage and through the various stages of herself to deliver these songs, devotionals. She and the band are not just world class performers, they might in fact be world-beaters.” (Off The Tracks)

After standout debut performances at Womadelaide and extensively touring in Europe with Marlon Williams, Fountain’s reputation for an exceptional live show has gone global. “Slinking around the stage like a cat, Reb is what would happen if Stevie Nick’s and Kate Bush were to collide, her folky punk sound and stage presence has the audience captivated.” (Music Crowns).

“Reb is a revelation. I could have watched her show on any stage in the world and she would have deserved to be there.” (STUFF)
