The Dears/Fields At Troubadour TONIGHT

FEATURED ARTIST: FIELDS official site myspace [MP3] Fields - Song For The Fields [MP3] Fields - Heretic Someone sent me a copy of Fields EP (Or as they say in the UK - MINI-Album) 7 From The Village recently. I get a lot of packages in the mail and I don't know what possessed me to open this one. The CD had nothing more than a white label and FIELDS written across the top in huge bold letters. No real information - Just music. I popped it into my stereo and was positively spellbound. Epic shoegze rock loaded with distortion and vocoders, sweeping guitars, a touch of modern folk mixed with canadian indie pop, and gorgeous synth. What a BEAUTIFUL record. It's no wonder "Song For The Fields" is getting rave reviews all over the internets. I also quite enjoy "Heretic." As I did my research I discovered that my roommate's good friend Thorunn now plays keyboards in the band! The 5 piece seem to be stirring the pot in the U.S. rather quickly. I hope they don't fall pray to over hype - this record is just too damn good to get lost in the NME melee. I for one am very excited to see them at The Troubadour TONIGHT with The Dears. 7 Songs From The Village is out now on the band's own Black Lab label and Atlantic. Be sure to pick up their album on Insound.
