Artist description Described as "industrially influenced neo-gothic/ experimental music" Jordans style centres around industrial atmospheres used as sonic backdrops for dark, celtic-influenced melodies. Coparisons by press range from PJ Harvey (The Mix - UK) through to Tool (The Evening Standard - NZ). "Where others sit and strum, Reyne uses the entire studio to build sombre yet evocative sound pictures. Reyne succeeds in turning even her bleakest visions into something musically seductive".
