This is an album to savour when autumn leaves are falling--and through the rest of the year, too.
-
A record that doesn't deviate from what the listener might have already expected from an artist might not sound like an engaging one, but Fields most certainly is.

MojoIt's been worth the wait. [Oct 2010, p.103]

Dec 21, 2010They may not yet have a strong enough aesthetic to make a great album, but they've made a unique, highly promising one that might soon create something which can bring Gonzalez's academics into the realm of something softer. In the way his best songs and covers were, and still could be.
-
Gonzalez's classical guitar and weightless tenor float over soul jazz, Afrobeat, Ethiopian funk and krautrock, and the lyrics touch on spirituality and self-realization.

Under The RadarEven with Gonzalez windy guitar strums taking a definitive backseat, Gonzalez purists will not be able to resist the charms of his friends in Junip. [Summer 2010, p.79]
-
That surprising lack of offensiveness, though, isn't replaced with anything to particularly excite, leaving it a tasteful aural curtain of an album without much of a view beyond.
