#18 Fields - Everything last winter

Having listened to their EP a lot this year I was thinking it'd be too late to get a copy of their proper debut album in time for it to have a chance of getting into the yearly Audities Top Twenty Poll, but it arrived this morning from Amazon.

To my ears it shares some of the same sensiblities as another great album from 2006, "Trial of the occupanther" by Midlake. It smacks of having being written in the middle of a dark, dark forest under the watchful eye of maleaovant spirits. Every thrash of the guitar sending a thousand hell-black crows flying into the sky.
