during the English Civil War, five men convened in a field where they stared into the void and had a bad time

some years later, five different fellows retraced this event and wrought from it an excellent sonic journey which is most definitely not a bad time

put your headphones on and let the field take you

Yo I've been waiting ten long years for one of my favorite local bands to make a second album and after adding covid onto all the other turbulence, I wasn't sure if it would ever be. Well it is here and it is absolutely colossal. It's riffier and more layered (what up new 5th member Jim Schloemer, great synth work). The theme is stronger. No shade on the debut's vocals but Sam Halvorson does a supreme job here. This album whips, can’t wait to have the vinyl on my shelf next to the first one.
