April 2009 - New Zealand reviews
"One of this country's most gifted, probing and intelligent writers... [How the Dead Live] is a dark, emotionally intense and musically arresting concept album..delivered in lean poetry and electrifying folk-noir... soundscapes of the kind Reyne deployed to such great effect on Passenger. An impressive achievement" Elsewhere (New Zealand) full review here
"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
“A fierce and unflinching vision, familiar to those who know Reyne’s work. Perfectly etched with double vocals combined with that dense, intense electronic backdrop…” William Dart, New Horizons, Radio New Zealand
