Field Recordings From the Sun

On Field Recordings... gone are the punk leanings hailed by the underground upon the first album's release. In their place are towering tombs of natural ethereal beauty and pure sonic destruction -- set above a cosmic freight train of unhinged riffs and jagged grooves. Comets on Fire entered Tin Green's studio in San Francisco with only bare-boned riffs and ideas for the songs on Field Recordings..., allowing the precise moments of artistic creation and structural formation to be captured directly to tape. This recording technique gives the listener a more direct contact with the music and a mainline to the physical transfer of energy through the listening process. Joining Comets on Fire in the studio was an entourage of friends and folk, some musicians known to play live with Comets on Fire in its collective form, some merely grassheads and cheap boozehounds, come along to have their desperate voices heard in the context of production.
