Reviews"They tap into the emotion that runs deep under their synth-pop, and the results are more cathartic and devastating than ever.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Frontman Samuel T. Herring continues to put a begging, pleading soulman spin on the moony affliction of the Cure and New Order -- slathering his gangly sandpaper croon all over songs like the dance-pop gallop 'Ran.'", "Largely, this is a set of songs that seep, creep and grow in strength, like opener ‘Aladdin’, ‘Time On Her Side’ and ‘Cave’.", "With a burning single called 'Cave,' where Gerrit Welmers fans out the synths to create an echoing Blade Runner-like soundscape.", "THE FAR FIELD doubles down on its strengths. Throbbing, New Order-ish bass lines, bubbling synths, rhythms that propel you to the dance floor, and, most of all, Herring’s emotive, gruff vocals.", "The album nods towards their roots whilst also pulling somewhere rather different....The appearance of Debbie Harry on ‘Shadows’ adds a rare dash of the unexpected..."
Additional InformationWorking with producer John Congleton, the band adds a layer of slickness to its sound while vocalist Samuel T. Herring does his best to tear it all away.
