Upon first listening, Good Field brings on the tone of acoustic sound in their newest album Surface Tension. A few tracks in the album and you will find these uniquely crafted songs in sound and lyrics. When you have talented people working on the album with you that are known in the industry Jim Eno from Spoon’s studio and James Petralli from White Denim, a high expectation is made and the final product speaks for itself. The bulk of the album spins a mixture of melodic reflecting and airy pop as well within the tracks. The voice of lead singer Paul Price aids in crafting a sound that can only be described as hypnotizing. When placing similarities on other similar artists, Deerhunter, Cold War Kids, and the Walkmen are a few that share the easygoing melodic pop that draws you in wanting to listen to more. Surface Tension will definitely be an album to add to the must listen list for 2018.
