Establishing the mood with dimensional alternative folk soundscape featuring intricate guitar, immersive strings and textured drums, 23 Fields open Scars with atmospheric vocals, introspective prose, and metaphorical depth.
The overarching emotional quotient of Scars is high, and we appreciate the intentional and authentic brand of songwriting. The narrative laced details are vivid and cinematic, and we connect with the charisma and relatability that the prose exudes.
The soundscape itself is sublime, warm, consciously astute and timeless. 23 Fields‘ Scars feels like a spiritual journey through the raw essence of human experience. From the opening strum, the song envelops us in an intimate, heartfelt atmosphere, where every note and word resonates with soulful tangibility, and the presence of the cajon amplifies the emotional quotient.
The lyrics of Scars reflect on personal battles and the marks they leave with poetic prowess, touching on themes of love, life, and the intricacies connect them. Musically, the song’s immersive and rich arrangement creates a hypnotic soundscape that we cannot get enough of. This allows the emotive vocals to manifest with a relatable timbre, imbuing the song with a profound sense of sincerity, and leaves us yearning for more.
We love what the Hastings based trio are creating, and it is no surprise that Scars is proving to be the most popular track from their sophomore album, To Follow This Year’s Fashion, produced by James McMillan. We have added Scars to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the remainder of the record, and anticipate future releases from the visionary band.
