Album Review: Foreign Fields - Take Cover

StarStarStarStar

" ...highlights like single 'I' bind this album into a cohesive whole."

Nashville duo Foreign Fields tighten their focus on their second album, yielding a sound that's more momentous than on their dreamy debut Anywhere But Where I Am in 2012.

Such indulgence impresses but leaves the listener bereft of something to hook into. Not so with Take Cover. The 12 tracks carry us through a less expansive landscape and into something more urban and personal. The dark tone of I Killed You In The Morning is offset by its lilting keys, Weeping Red Devil's high warbles and vinyl clicks are textural and interesting, but the pop-imbibed highlights like single I bind this album into a cohesive whole.
