Nite Fields Get Epic

Normally, I’m not the type to share with you long tracks, but when I heard this sprawling exercise in ambient/minimalist alternative music, I had to tell you about Nite Fields. This four piece from Brisbane are on the cusp of releasing of album, Depersonalisation, on Felte Records in a few weeks, but this song is the perfect reason to get excited and preorder the record; it begins oh-so-slowly with the smallest amounts of sound and over the course of seven minutes it develops into a soaring alternative rock song. The sleepy and deep vocals crawl through the track alongside the lush percussion and elegantly angular electric guitars, making it natural and easy progression. The pacing is perfect, leaving you completely enraptured in the slowness and still hooked when the band picks up the pace towards the end.
