In Field & Town

VINYL FORMAT. The first thing you notice about In Field & Town is Hayden's songwriting seems to be a bit more upbeat. The title track starts the record and the distorted sound and drums really energize you. Hayden's vocals delivery is still the same, but it's matched with a more experimental groove. The track settles into a nice rhythm but adds some tambourine, bossa nova percussion and subtle bass piano notes that echo in the distance to thicken up the last two minutes. The textures he plays with doesn't clutter the song, they simply keep you paying attention. -herohill.com
