Alaska Reid comes by way of Park County, Montana an enclave for writers, artists and ranchers of the American West. Reid began spending more and more time in Los Angeles come late-teens. From 14-18 she began gigging around LA. Eventually during her time in LA after becoming fatigued by the way she was seen as a young girl singer-songwriter, Alaska began to lean into her obsession with loud guitars and fuzz (thanks to her favorite band Dinosaur Jr.). She formed a band, cold messaged John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile etc…) on Facebook and ended up releasing an album produced by him, entitled Crush.
In the years since, she’s brought her unique take on Americana across the country, opening for the likes of Charli XCX, Porches, Caroline Polachek, Magdalena Bay, Del Water Gap, and the Drums, all while writing her debut full-length, Disenchanter. Due out July 14th via Luminelle, Disenchanter, is as much a collection of stories as it is a collection of songs.
