REVIEW: The Field - Yesterday & Today

7.75 out of 10

About a month ago The Field leaked one of the tracks from the new album "Yesterday & Today" titled "The More That I Do", ever since I have been anticipating it's release with much excitement. Finally it has come out! ..Raise your glow sticks to the air!!

The Field is an airy/spacey Electronic Ambient Dance band off of the Kompakt label that fuses elements of Micro Techno with the ambience of Seefeel or even M83. "Yesterday & Today" is The Field's second album. The sound is about the same as his debut "From Here We Go Sublime", but with longer, more epic songs, and waaaay better production. The Field's music is pretty simple, one melody is looped over and over with a 4-count kick and layers upon layers of space-a-licious synths on top. If you like your "techno" simple, but fetching and somewhat euphoric you will be more than happy with this album.

"Yesterday & Today" has a fair share of danceable and ambient sounds. The fusion of the two may sound like an odd idea, but somehow The Field pulls it off, again.. RECOMMENED.

Standout Tracks: I Have The Moon You Have The Internet, Everybodys Got To Learn Sometime (yeah, it's a cover of that Beck song from the "Eternal Sunshine.." soundtrack done The Field style), Leave It, The More That I Do
