Reb Fountain Water For Gasoline Vinyl

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.
