Man Rei - Doer (2024)

Written and recorded in 2021, as COVID cases were climbing, Doer is the missing link between Frankfurt-based Man Rei's (aka Kristin Reiman) debut Cusp (2020) and their more recent recordings for Glasgow's Somewhere Press (2023). Still introspective and even cryptic at times, you can hear the transition to new song structures and the unique way in which Reiman has begun integrating their ongoing choral experiments. Doer shows Reiman as a master of irresolution, with a calm tension that fills every corner of their hazy sound world.

"...deep, mystical, and secretive—art pop viewed through a misty lens." -Bandcamp Daily

"The releases of Frankfurt-based Man Rei, aka Kristin Reiman, always have a dreamy quality, but on Doer they fully embrace the surrealness that gives their music a weight beyond somnambulant drift." -The Quietus

"...eludes written description." -Lost in a Sea of Sound

Recorded in Frankfurt am Main (2021)
