Brian Reitzell x Kevin Shields Collaborate

Stream a beautiful preview inside...

Brian Reitzell’s name may not be familiar, but his work most certainly will be.

As a drummer, Reitzell has performed with Redd Kross and Air, while his work as a composer has been picked up for the likes of Sofia Coppola’s 'The Bling Ring', Gus Van Sant’s 'Promised Land'.

His new project, though, looks to be his most exciting move yet. New album ‘Auto Music’ features a host of collaborations, with the songwriter inviting the likes of My Bloody Valentine mainman Kevin Sheilds and reclusive Talk Talk legend Mark Hollis into the studio.

The composer’s first solo release, ‘Auto Music’ seemingly began as a series of personal experiments. “I wasn’t making a pop record,“ he said recently, “I was experimenting with sounds to further my knowledge for creating music for my film projects and exploring new ways to make music.”
