LA/Chicago/NYC based one woman band Fielded (wow, that’s a lot of cities for one person!) is the project of producer Lindsay Powell (originally one half of sister duo Festival and part of experimental prog project Ga’an), who creates loop based music featuring random percussive sounds, synths and several layers of her voice. Latest single "Reign" (from upcoming EP ‘Universally Handsome’) sounds like a truly genreless – although vaguely african sounding – pop gem. Refreshingly, unlike most electronic acts out there, Lindsay doesn’t feel compelled to fill up the sonic spectrum with all sorts of parts, if not – occasionally, and appropriately – to propelle the track’s chorus.
This is a talented, original artist that deserves more attention; you have a chance to see her live in Brooklyn at Death by Audio tomorrow (03.21).
