Babe Rainbow (musician)

Babe Rainbow is the moniker of Canadian musician Cameron Reed.

Reed first came to prominence following the release of two records as Babe Rainbow on the UK-based Warp Records, Shaved EP in 2010 and Endless Path EP in 2011.

[1] Mixing the genres of Dubstep, ambient, hip-hop, and Noise music, Babe Rainbow's early Post-dubstep[2] material was described as "creating "overcast, suffocating sonic landscapes"[3] that evoke a sound "like living in a haunted house".

[4] In addition to providing official remixes for artists such as Grimes, Midnight Juggernauts, and Jokers of the Scene, Reed has provided production to up-and-coming rappers[5] and occasionally releases free EPs of demos and works-in-progress.

[6] In 2012, Reed briefly joined the backing band for Domino Records-signed R&B artist How To Dress Well[7] before going on to release an EP of minimalist piano compositions titled Minnesota Winter EP, and Falling Apart EP which Pitchfork Media called "a momentous, sometime triumphant gloom that recalls a range of other electronic experimentalists".
