    Leaves you lost in a perpetuating state of transcendent meditation, whether you realise it or not. This is The Field's most unflinchingly hypnotic album yet, with very little changes in rhythm or pitch throughout any of the songs, to the point where just a mere pitch-shift itself feels like a massively satisfying payoff

    The Follower places him alongside Caribou as a master of emotional reverie. [Aug 2016, p.99]

    Willner continues to move into more exploratory territory, though in taking his music to a denser, more obtuse place, the divine simplicity that’s defined his entire body of work suffers.

    Indeed, incessantly nattering samples are The Field’s trademark, as acquired a taste as a falsetto vocal or an electric bouzouki, the long pieces sometimes leaving you floating through the Land Of Nod and other times walking through treacle.
