James Reindeer (b. 1978) is an English writer, producer, rapper, and multidisciplinary artist best known for his acute, anguished rap vocals, post-rock sonic landscapes, and multifarious use of sampled field recordings.

Emerging over a decade ago as a voice of the disaffected indie-rap underground, Reindeer first found critical acclaim alongside longtime friend and musical collaborator fbcfabric for their highly-celebrated conceptual album, ‘It’s Not Who You Know, It’s Whom You Know’ (fbcfabric & reindeer).

Since then he has written and recorded twelve albums across a variety of genres from hip-hop to doom-drone to spoken-word, and collaborated with such greats as Son Lux, 2econd class citizen, Egotronic, Frittenbude, and a raft of others, as well as having performed live across North America and Europe, from the Kaos Network, LA, to Glastonury Festival, UK, sharing stages with the likes of Thesis Sahib, Rappin’ 4 Tay, Bleubird, Gong, and Ceschi, to name but a few.

Originally hailing from South London, UK, Reindeer has spent many years living and travelling throughout the Western Lands, from Ostrava to Oakland, Leipzig to Brighton, and is currently between residences somewhere in the Surrey Hills.

Reindeer’s first official full-length solo debut record, Field Reports from the Western Lands (Anette Records No. 13.), a 16-track limited edition double vinyl in 4 parts, releases on March 30th, 2018, complete with a 44-page illustrated lyric booklet and digital download code.
