The uber-vague word "dreamscape" makes suddenly perfect sense when applied to Field Trip‘s repertoire, where songs are marked by seriously sleepy vocals yawning beautiful melodies, while psychedelic inflections and waves of reverb tidal over the listener. It’s no accident that they recorded a cover of The Smith’s ‘Asleep.’ The psych pop bedroom project, founded by Noah Champ Davies when he moved from LA to NYC in 2014, takes cues from dreampop, new wave and 90’s synthpop, merging them to create songs that ooze nostalgia and longing. At the top of the project’s sophomore EP ‘Deep Blue‘ is “Never (b)” (streaming), a song that sounds precisely like the sonic equivalent of watching an old, homemade Super 8 film that’s flickered and tinted with light leaks, and that slowly comes apart towards the end, as the tail catches fire and all the images melt away – the holes of flashing color gaping on the screen. Field Trip will be playing Shea Stadium alongside Iris Lune and Gods tonight (02.11). – Adriana S Ballester
