Welcome
to the official pages of Jordan Reyne, one of New Zealands most
acclaimed experimental folk-noir musicians.
"How the Dead Live"
is a tale told in folk noir style. Inspired by the story of one of New
Zealands first pioneer women, Susannah Hawes. The CD follows a
(fictive) dialoge between Susannah and History herself. History has
been sent to track Susannahs 'ordinary' life and is irritated with the
lack of battles and adventure in the lonely west coast town of Karamea.
Susannah suggests, however, that maybe it is those who are overlooked
by History who are really 'the Brave'.

Reviews, How the Dead
Live (2009)
"A
fascinating and intense listen. Reyne's voice,
as ever, is a gift and.. she chooses to use it by
applying
the tools of a story writer and an illustrator... here is something
worth celebrating, a song writer who didn't come down
in the last shower of record company advances and marketing hype"
The
Dominion Post
(Wellington, New Zealand)
“a work that delves deeply
into the psyche of the land and our European forebears. A soundtrack to
the cinema of unease" New Zealand Musician
