The Crayon Fields
Labels: Sandra
Other than being deafened by my bedroom keyboard, I have been listening to The Crayon Fields on repeat all day (they have been chosen as one of my new picks of albums for their debut album "Animal Bells") which is a special treat to my deafen ears. So I'll be interested into seeing them live tomorrow night at the Metro supporting Cornelius. In the past they've supported the likes of The Unicorns, Deerhoof and (Australia's #1 band) Dappled Cities Fly. I'd give strong comparisons to Minimum Chips; simple lofi pop tunes. A few members of Minimum Chips have also done appearances on the album Animal Bells. There's something about it which makes me feel lost in nostalgia. Perhaps it's just myself but this year "twee" has renewed itself and I'm liking it. The Crayon Fields being a great example of that. Like it? Vote for it!

Animal Bells is my favourite Australian album of the year (just missing out to Neko Case in my favourite albums of 2006). Really they should be getting more exposure because it really is a great album.

I agree with you on the lack of exposure even though this probably the most accessible record of theirs up to date. Perhaps next year will follow up, they really are fantastic. Like I've posted; they've supported large acts and you'd expect something big would happen. Only time will tell.

i just became aware of this band, and i'm really enjoying them. might be my favorite of 2007 (since they're just being released in the u.s. now)
