A truly exceptional album by one of New Zealand's finest voices. Don't just stream download the WAV or Flac album as the SQ is amazing & it will put some $$ in her pocket. Beautiful instrumentation & to die for vocals a complete musical work that adds another slice of genius to the Flying Nun Records lexicon

Funny that, been listening to this over the week as songs pop up on rnz: music 101 etc, just purchased vinyl for delivery some time in the future.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

What a weird video...mono colour is a bit different but didnt get the masks. I liked the lady singing alone before the bloke arrived into the song. Id not heard of her before so thanks for sharing.

Was going to buy the vinyl but I saw that its gold, which notoriously is a difficult colour for some reason to get quiet pressings.

Might wait for feedback from papahemi et al on pressing quality before purchasing.

I ordered black vinyl, always do if I can. Nick Bollinger giving her the big thumbs up now on "the sampler".

Flying Out don't seem to have a black vinyl option. Might have to order it from somewhere else. Bandcamp perhaps.

My bad.

It is on their site

I try and use Bandcamp whereevr I can nowadays.

Have a couple of Reb's earlier releases so ordered cd via bandcamp last week.

Reb Fountain, Compact Disc by reb fountain
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Estimated to ship June 29, 2020 and estimated to arrive by July 13, 2020

Seriously? For a new album I expected it to be in stock and shipped the following day.
TBH, I don't think I've bought via bandcamp before, is this normal delivery expectation? sheesh!

dc4 It must have been COVID that delayed the physical media releases to June 26 for CD and 24 JUL for the vinyl.

Vinyl sounds very good, even though its a GZ Media pressing

Mine arrived today in its goldness from Mightyape along with a $10 discount voucher!

Let me know how it sounds, if its noisey at all.

My black vinyl arrived on Friday - all good bar a couple of clicks on side one that have disappeared with subsequent plays.

" Released today on vinyl (Black and Coloured Gatefold), is the new self-titled Reb Fountain album, with the beguiling Auckland singer/songwriter delivering a sparkling modern alternative record. "

andrewp how's the gold version sounding pressing wise?

Hi citroen... spinning now. First side only at this stage. Record very quiet indeed! Very flat too which was pleasing.

is the gold a limited run ?

Pass. Wouldnt have bothered me either way to be honest. Ive heard that coloured disks sometimes arent as good as their black counterparts sometimes. Mine came via Mighty Ape and there werent options either way.
