Name: Fields
Genre: Indie
Day: Saturday

Wikipedia sez: “Fields are an Anglo-Icelandic electronic/indie band formed in London. In early 2006 the band played their first live shows. This sparked a bidding war amongst UK record companies. They eventually signed a deal with Atlantic Records which allows them to keep releasing records through their own Black Lab Records set-up with the album being released by Atlantic. They have recorded their debut album with legendary producer Michael Beinhorn who has produced the likes of Herbie Hancock, Korn, Soundgarden and Marilyn Manson.”

It’s hard finding decent live performances on YouTube and the like, so when I saw Fields (who are one of many British band who have dropped “The” from their name, see Klaxons and Editors) officially put live stuff online, I was impressed.? I wish I could say the same thing about their music however. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad in any way but it didn’t jump out and impress me by any means either. But from the sounds of it, it’s music that could grow on you if you listened to it long enough. It’s straight up indie too, no way it’s electronic despite the electronic piano/samples.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Depends on clashes.
