Black Grass

Black Grass is Kyle Field's most honest and revealing work to date. It is the distillation into its very essence of over a decade's worth of stunningly beautiful song-craft on Field's part. This is a haunting, understated, and deeply personal work. The music of Little Wings is woven in the scenery in which it is created - be it the natural kingdom that was San Luis Obispo, or the pervasive, stubborn fog of San Francisco. In the lyrics we hear the natural world, the seasons, and our interactions with them merge into and become one other. Even the title seems both an environmental and an emotional state. In Black Grass we hear fragility and durability, we hear the paradox of personal growth. Driven to look unflinchingly into himself and at the world around him in the fall season, Field has produced work that is as sincere in its moments of aching and decay as it is in its moments of triumph and rebirth.
