THE FIELD in Sydney and Melbourne

THE FIELD
Ever since The Field released their debut album in 2007 (the stellar From Here We Go Sublime), they have been front and centre on our stereo.
Then we saw them live overseas and we decided we needed to tour them asap! The Field's live show brings to life the music of Stockholm native and blissed-out futurist Axel Willner with a live rhythm section.
Launched unto the world by renowned German label Kompakt in 2005, The Field expounded a new fusion of ambient and techno which was informed as much by the shoegazer rock of Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine as by the aesthetics of Kompakt and 1990s techno (post-pop ambient, anyone?).
As Pitchfork declared whilst bestowing The Field with a mighty 9.0 rating: If Willner doesn't hit at least some of your pleasure centres, your nerve endings might actually be dead.
