Airfields

Indie C86 oriented new generation music breathes on the kitch Canada too. The Airfields (the singer was born near an airport and there’s a clear reference to their sonic sounds) are running high on the skies of a rushed and energic shoegaze-driven guitar and space synth pop at the speed of sound. Not leaving behing a certain clever irony too, since they claim to bear “the pains of being a poncy rich kid at heart”, with a clear reference to another notorious indie band.

The Airfield seems to find themself perfectly comfortable diving into slow dancing atmospehere too, and songs like “Icing Sugar”  and “The long way home” looks just sun reflections on the steel of their wings. “Yr So Wonderful” is finally the most psychedelic track of the 47th Cloudberry Release, with some remindings to Astrolab colleagues sounds.

The band has just released their first LP called “Up All Night” (Humblebee Recordings). More than a signal in the sky.
