Reins crashed onto the scene with ‘Revolutions’, a striking debut that blurs the lines between protest anthem and love song. What began as a hushed, late-night folk tune swells into something much bigger; a cinematic, genre-defying arrangement that pulses with urgency and emotion.
Welsh-born and Brighton-based Reins brings a poet’s sensitivity and a producer’s ambition to this debut. ‘Revolutions’ builds from a place of vulnerability, layering sweeping strings, stuttering electronics, cascading piano, and crashing percussion into a soundscape that feels both chaotic and composed. It’s the sonic equivalent of trying to fix a broken record player while the world burns around you, a yearning to make something beautiful from the noise.
In a landscape cluttered with noise for noise’s sake, Reins offers something messier, stranger, and more human. His voice doesn’t plead for attention, it demands it, rising out of the static like a flare. Drawing from indie folk, alternative, and electronica, ‘Revolutions’ marks Reins not just as a songwriter to watch, but as a storyteller willing to soundtrack the uneasy spaces between the natural and the mechanical, the personal and the political.
