Today, the fourth single ‘Foxbright’ is shared from Reb Fountain’s forthcoming album IRIS out via Flying Nun Records on October 1st, 2021.
The new single serves as a mesmerising slow-burner, brimming with delicate piano, acoustic guitar and a stunning string section that guides the listener through its tender and understated production, with Reb’s enchanting vocals complimenting the music masterfully.
‘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 has 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.
Reb reflects, “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.”
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 1950s onto Reb’s body. The result is a beautiful and intimate expression of our nature.
