Tune In Saturdays: Fields.

So, I was a little excited about this new band.  And, I still like the album I just got.  But, now I've seen the boring labored, annoying, pretentious video, and somehow, now I hate them.

Did a major label signing make them suck?

Anyway, 7 from the Village, the ep released by the, according to MySpace, Birmingham/Reykjavik/London based Fields. is lovely.  It's glossy, but interesting.  It sort of reminds me of the Secret Machines, but with a little more pep.

It's a good good from a band that's less than a year old, but already making the jump to Atlantic Records.  Hopefully they won't go all Coldplay.  By that I mean, get rich, marry famous and make bland crap.  If the new video is any indication, the slow fade to shit has already begun.  But, at least we'll have 7 from the Village to remember them by.
