The band's first album, "Remember Two Things," was released in 1993. Reynolds has released several of his own albums, playing each instrument on all of the tracks. His releases include "See Into Your Soul," which combines his acoustic style with new experimental sounds, and "Nomadic Wave," which has sounds of finger picking folk and borderline electronica. Reynolds has been noted by critics and musicians alike as one of the most talented guitarist to emerge in the last decade.
