Reises is an Irish folk band that formed in the late 1990s with members Marie Brennan, Tim Jarvis, and Mel Mercier. They gained attention in 2004 with their song "Alma Nua," which became a surprise hit in Ireland and beyond. The track features Brennan's vocals over guitar and percussion work from Jarvis and Mercier.
Their sound draws from traditional Irish folk elements, heard in songs like "Escolha" and "Meus Demônios." They've released several albums including Alma Nua in 2004, followed by You'll Never Be the Same Again in 2006, The Fourth Dream in 2009, The Well in 2012, and The Winter Tree in 2015.
Some critics raised questions about their use of traditional melodies after their initial success. The band has continued to perform and record, maintaining a following drawn to their particular approach to folk music.
