you know it too, i think, that liminality of wakefulness. the questions that wash ashore the littoral zone and tumble away, their rhythm soothing you into another cycle of sleep. what time is it? where am i? KL? hougang? serangoon? the airfields are from canada, but they'd probably tell you it doesn't really matter since home is always an imaginary place. over the drum machine's detached nostalgia, lush's wistful and world-weary voice sha la la las you back into that narrow in between consciousness. - b . mp3 : the airfields - [...]

The theme for Contrast Podcast #167 is "Home," because podcast master Tim Young and his wife will be leaving theirs in the UK soon to relocate to France. I am still recovering myself from being away from home for 15 days. I had thought that jetlag would be easier in this direction, but I'm only just getting back into normal sleeping patterns. I have, however, stopped stopped waking up in wee morning hours wondering which China hotel room I am in. Above, a mirror in the imperial bedroom at the Forbidden City. [...]

This is a cover of the classic Field Mice single (released on Sarah Records (Sarah 018)) The Airfields - Sensitive (Field Mice cover)(via zshare) Up All Night, the long anticipated full length Airfields album is out now on Humblebee Records. The Airfields on myspace Listen to The Airfields on iTunes . An interview with The Airfields on skatterbrain.org
Up All Night is the debut album from Canadian indie pop band The Airfields . It's the follow up to 2006's Laneways EP , a release I shamefully omitted to review and last years limited edition CD on Cloudberry. In fact all three of the tracks on the latter are included here! I normally bang on at length about the album I am reviewing but I am going to keep this review simple as there isn't much to say suffice this is the best album I have heard this year out of all those sent [...]
Το ιστολόγιο που διαβάζετε διανύει αισίως τον τρίτο χρόνο παρουσίας του στο διαδίκτυο, οπότε μοιραία κάποια ονόματα θα παρουσιαστούν περισσότερες από μία φορές, καθώς θα κυκλοφορούν νέα τραγούδια με την πάροδο του χρόνου. Ένα από αυτά είναι και οι Καναδοί Airfields . Indiepop αξιώσεων από ένα κουιντέτο για το οποίο θα δυσκολευτείτε να πιστεψετε ότι ηχοργαφεί στο παγωμένο Τορόντο και όχι στην εξίσου παγωμένη Στοκχόλμη . Τι συνέβη λοιπόν στους φίλους μας από τον περασμένο Ιανουάριο, οπότε και είχαν φιλοξενηθεί και πάλι στις εγκαταστάσεις της Ακαδημίας μας? Μα [...]
The Airfields : Up all Night ( Humblebee ) With their "Laneways" ep the Airfields showed themselves to be masters at effortlessly combining beautiful "barbed wire" noise with tender romanticism sometimes all in the course of the same song. The songs on that ep felt like tender bruises, with their lovelorn aching vocals. Those of you who were lucky enough to snap up a copy of their Cloudberry Records cdep "yr so wonderful" (which is now sold out) know that the "Laneways" ep was no [...]
Finishing a third bottle of wine during a sit-down dinner with friends can have consequences. As demonstrated by this muse which overcame one of my guests over the weekend: "You know, porn has really lost a lot of its magic. I mean people who looked at porn back in the 70s and 80s had this moment of wonder, of awe, at the thought of the guy keeping himself hard and ready for an entire shoot. You know, think about all the scenes that were cut, think of all the shots and retakes to get all [...]

Calling all boys and girls, and boys and boys, and girls and girls...Valentine's Day is this Thursday, and you'd better start planning something special for the one you love if you haven't already. Your sweetie deserves some kind of recognition for putting up with your shit. In case you want to include a mix of love songs in the goodies, here are a few to start with, including one of Ryan Adams' most touching and beautiful since "When The Stars Go Blue." I'll have some older love songs on this Tuesday's Time Travel post. [...]
Bonkers over Conkers Sorry not to have posted for a couple of days. Oh, you didn't notice? Phweww.`````` (simulated flicked sweatdrops) Today, a novel approach: I'm going to post some mp3s I've recently found and like. Maybe you will, too. (Post some mp3s, I mean.

Since discovering The Airfields way back in Summer of 2005 , it's been a treat watching them evolve. The trip may have been slow and occasionally difficult but each signpost along the way, from the whispery 4-track under the bedcovers charm of their debut City-State through the unexpected confidence of 2006's Laneways EP and then last year's limited edition teaser Yr So Wonderful , pointed to great things just down the road. And now, with the release of their debut full-length [...]
I just don't get this! On my way home from work this Monday I (once again) heard Slave To Your Charms by Kind of girl on the radio ( Danish P3 ). Well done! Last time I asked if the band was close to signing with a label the answer was negative. Not so well done I guess? But what exactly is preventing the labels from signing the band? One of their songs is played in primetime on the most popular radio station in Denmark! It's virtually impossible being more [...]
Ein schönes CD Debüt bieten uns die Indiedreampopneoshoegazer "Airfields" aus Toronto. Mit dem Titel "Up all Night" konstatieren die Kanadier ihre leicht boheme Arbeitsweise treffend, spielen sie ihre Songs anscheinend am frühen Morgen in einem stillgelegten Flugzeughangar ein:"...We'd like to tell you that we write our songs in an abandoned airplane hangar, just to account for all the echoing, but that would be very untrue and a little fanciful. Instead, most of the songwriting occurs in the wee hours of the morning, travelling on a shivering bus to nowhere important. Because we are without sleep, we are well-acquainted with the [...]
Questions and Answers with The Airfields I'm going to try to start doing little interviews (though this one is quite extensive!) here more often, because they're fun and fun things almost always tend to be good – and fun. To get the ball rolling, who better to interview than my favorite Canadian popgazers, The Airfields ! More or less coincidentally, they also happen to be releasing their first LP, Up All Night , very soon – February 5th, infact – on Humblebee Recordings . I can [...]
Beyond the terrestrial. . . Never, ever accuse me of not being in touch with my inner wuss (or I'll weep), and this post proves it. Kind of a staff/distaff thing, too, though not necessarily in that order. The hardest-hitting song is by Girl Band, if that tells you anything. Bon weak-end, valued visitors.
