Reb Fountain’s latest track, “Come Down,” is a raw, coming-of-age anthem that captures the intensity of youth with her signature noir folk-punk edge. The song showcases Reb’s unflinching lyrical honesty, blending pop sensibilities with her gritty, genre-defying sound. From the first note, “Come Down” leaves a lasting impact, weaving anthemic melodies with a haunting authenticity that sets Reb apart.
Recorded at Neil Finn’s iconic Roundhead Studios in Auckland, the track is a tribute to platonic love. Its accompanying video, directed by Reb’s daughter Lola Fountain-Best and shot by Reb herself, captures the wild, unfiltered energy of two real-life best friends, Lola and Eve. The visual, drenched in the grit and grunge of adolescence, tells a nostalgic tale of youthful abandon and the deep connection between two young women. Reb’s artistic vision, both musically and visually, delivers a heartfelt narrative that resonates with a timeless sense of longing and friendship.
