Field Medic this week release their new album, ‘fade into the dawn’, through Run For Cover Records. The first proper full-length release for Run For Cover following his critically acclaimed collection ‘songs from the sunroom’, these songs are sparse but sincere and make for an incredible listen. Give a listen to lead single, ‘Henna Tattoo’ here.
Catchy and infectious melodies are something that becomes the norm on this record, and it’s one hell of a norm. The simplicity of these tracks really make for some incredible listening, with easy guitars and beats that are so infectious that make you want this album to never end. Tracks such as ‘I Was Wrong’ are great examples of this, where those subtle guitars and incredible beats work together so well.
With these incredible melodies are some honest but tender lyrics that work with the sound Field Medic creates throughout this album. Tracks such as ‘Tournament Horseshoe’ are great examples of this tenderness in the writing but that honesty that shines throughout this album, taking on themes of drinking but also the people who keep you right, this is one of the many highlights on this record, these short but sweet songs staying stuck in your head for a long time to come.
A wonderful entanglement of different musical vibes, Field Medic here brings, Folk, Indie and Alternative sounds together to perfection and it makes you want to put it on repeat, especially tracks such as ‘I Was Wrong’ and ‘Hello Moon’. Give this album a listen, you’re going to love it from beginning to end.
