A songwriter who makes space for memory and reflection in her spare arrangements.
If you want to hear what she does best, put on 'Te Aro' or 'High & Lonely.' They're good examples of how she writes.
Reid's songs work because they don't try to fill every corner. 'Te Aro' is just voice and guitar, a song about loss that feels specific without being crowded. She learned that approach from listening to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen growing up, and it shows in tracks like 'Right On Time' and 'High & Lonely' where the quiet lets the lyrics breathe.
She started with the 2010 EP 'The Arrow' and her first album 'Listen to Formation, Look for the Signs' came out in 2013 on Flying Nun Records. By 2019's 'Out of My Province,' she was still working in that same spare, reflective folk territory she established early on.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
