Jordan Reyne is an experimental musician from New Zealand, who operates across the electronic, folk, industrial musical genres. She combines vocal melody with narrative and urban „found sound“ to do what she describes as „recreating the sonic context of characters“.
She has been nominated three times for a New Zealand Music Award and released five CDs with the assistance of Creative New Zealand, the New Zealand arts council.
International Reviews:
“simply stunning. A thoroughly unique work of art from start to finish. Whether by hook or crook, you MUST own this album. RATING - 5 / 5” Channel 4 (UK)
“I’d be loath to categorize music this original. PJ Harvey springs to mind, but the style is 100% Jordan’s. Her vocals are astounding”
The Mix (UK)
“one of the best dark ambient pieces of music ever to have come out of New Zealand… a thoroughly emotional and moving piece of sound art which deserves wide exposure.” – FIEND Magazine (Australia)
“one of the most impressive musician/ songwriter/ composers of the last 10 years” Nocturnal Hall (Germany)
“Husky and thoughtful female vocals ride over a wide-ranging alternative spectrum of sound, from rock and acoustic guitars, to mellow and haunting synths. That said, this sound is distinct, with Jordan’s vocals being able to reach any scale, no matter what the music around her may be doing, making for a varied listening experience. This is what the scene needs – more bands willing to give something new a go, and Dr Kevorkian seem to be amongst those leading the way”

Always blows me away.. not just with that great voice and intense sensitivity of the music, but the poetry is amazing, sharp, lyrical obviously, observational. Jordan's creativity as well as the overall artistry of performance is just breathtaking, seriously
