This 2025 record, produced with longtime collaborator Dave Khan alongside Simon Gooding, keeps her core band intact, Khan on guitar and keys, Karin Canzek on bass, Earl Robertson on drums, and leans into the poetic depth that's defined her whole recent run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track carries the record's central image directly, love treated as something that warps rather than breaks. He Commands You to Jump Into the Sea is the album's strangest, most vivid piece of writing, biblical and unsettling in equal measure. Memorial closes the record at over six minutes, the clear emotional summit of the whole album, patient and genuinely devastating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn artist who disappeared from music for over a decade before finally getting the recognition this kind of writing always deserved. How Love Bends keeps building on exactly that momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50991741993265,"sku":"9421905882828","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Reb_Fountain-How_Love_Bends_Black_Vinyl_7-Inch.jpg?v=1790698097","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/reb-fountain-how-love-bends-black-vinyl-with-7-inch","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
