One of the treasures of the jangle pop world is Dusseldorf band The Radio Field. They impressed us mightily a couple of years ago with an LP titled Don'ts and Dos and they are back with new album Air and Sunlight. We are happy to report that there is no evidence of a sophomore slump -- this album is even better than the first.
The album hits all the right notes out of the gate with opener "It's Alright" and jangles and pops with enthusiasm for nine more tracks with blends, in various degrees, of jangle, bright indie pop, and a touch of country rock/Americana. There is one slower track, but the gang has to catch their breath at some point -- right?
Air and Sunlight is one of the hidden gems of the year -- don't miss out. It is available now via Less Records and Subjangle.
