We mentioned Fieldings a few days ago in this blog, and we’ve been intrigued by their music since then. This is the project of a NYC based songwriter who recently moved from Sydney, Australia to Brooklyn, whose first name appears to be Lu. Her 2014 three song EP ‘Wild Release Vol I‘ brings back to mind the emotional expressionism and experimental droney inclinations of Lisa Germano’s early albums, although the tone here is more subdued and the production sparser. In it, Lu’s voice shines for confidence and tone, together with her songwriting and production skills. Follow up EP ‘Wild Release Vol II,’ released a few months later, picks up where the debut left off, with acoustic guitars blending gracefully with electronic elements, samples, and percussion sounds that are alternatively acoustic and electronic. We are curious to hear what an edgy scene like NYC will do to this already original artist, in particular now that Lu appears to have band mates. Check out our favorite single ‘Idioglossia,’ strteaming below.
