From Birmingham to London via Iceland come Fields, five piece purveyors of quality tone, smoochy feedback and plenny-o-harmonies. A healthy slab of synthiness adds layers to an already epic wall of guitars and reverb-heavy drums, a sound which I don't want to pigeonhole at all (that's the job of the NME, not IndiEmo ha!). Let me just say that it's truly staring-in-wonder-at-the-skies type music. Their songs emerging and descending from and into tunnels of reverb and overdubbed vocals that would appear to mark them out as studio experimenters.
Fans of Arcade Fire and Guillemots won't be disappointed here, and neither will fans of Ride, Pale Saints, Slowdive... you get the picture. Newly signed to Atlantic Records, yhey're on tour throughout the UK in April (with a list of gigs on their myspace, they should be essential giggery. If they can cut their sound live, they should be a formidable act for 2007.
