The Field lives up to its name: as uniform and understatedly beautiful as a grassy one, as uncaring and unknowable as a magnetic one. This is loop-based electronica wholly of itself, an artifact with only a passing interest in being listened to. Consider Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime, a song that builds and drops and builds and drops, suggesting a larger-scale arc, but defying the expectation, all one step forward one step back, ending up where it started and mocking your anticipation otherwise. Leave You pulses in place for a few minutes before enticing with a roving bassline, but even that is used to betray anticipation of outcomes never to arrive.
A curiosity, to be sure, even intriguing in its way, but unwelcoming to the point of rudeness, an elegance-draped vampire that won't deign to seduce you, lurking slender and distant for hours and hours and hours before disappearing in a wink 3/5
