There’s a certain mellow warmth to "never" (streaming below), the first single from Field Trip’s upcoming debut album. The guitars float along lazily behind the vocal echoes of the group’s founder, Noah ‘Champ" Davies, creating the distinct atmosphere of a dream. The elements of psych rock and dream pop that are present throughout the song seem to melt together seamlessly, and a feeling of nostalgia is prevalent throughout it’s four minutes. The group, which is also composed of guitarist Nico Guyer, bassist Skylar Young, drummer Jason Park, and synth-player Phil Dabs, released their debut EP, "The Sounds Inside Your Mind," back in March, and that record’s third track, "Song for Ca," was ranked number 87 on Buzzfeed’s 99 best songs of 2015 list. The debut full-length is currently slated for release sometime this fall, and the group’s next performance will be at Shea Stadium on October 1. They will also be performing at LeftField on October 13 and at Muchmore’s on the 17th as a part of the CMJ Music Marathon. – Patrick Wolff
