In Fields Taken From A Fixed Point LP Vinyl

'Making Covid-19-references when writing about popular culture can feel tiresome, living in the midst of it but let 'Taken From A Fixed Point' by In Fields console you in this age of pandemic. This album pierces through you like sunbeams through the blinders of your quarantine-ridden apartments' windows. This isn't In Fields first appearance on the label. In 2019 the artist released a collaboration with The Golden Bug and the existing dynamics of that album resounds in this one. Though a little easier on the disco influences with a turn towards ambient, In Fields' music is still 'tension and release' music produced to perfection. In Fields characteristic sound contains contrasting elements where soft airy synth pads meet more frightening sounds dug up from somewhere deep and dark like in 'Ghostnights'. The tracks are dynamic where growing crescendos increase and suddenly fade out and you realize your mind has been focusing on a completely different part of the sound. Underneath those surprising elements sits a skeleton of well-sounding bones keeping the songs together tight and steady.
