The Radio Field is the latest project from Lars Schmidt of Subterfuge and “Clover” is the taster single from Simple, a 4-song EP out this Friday (September 30th) on the Subjangle label.
What does a musician do when he lives in a country that’s
experiencing its second lockdown at the end of 2020? Schmidt has said it only
takes enough boredom and a musical instrument to create something good. So with
the shops closed, he mail ordered a Rickenbacker 12-string and in a couple of
days three songs were written. And later, when it was possible, he went to the studio
with some friends to record the guitar, drums, and backing vocals.
The result of Schmidt’s back-to-the-roots bedroom band’s
efforts is the Simple EP with half of it the joyful jangle of “Clover” and “Years Ago” and another half the melancholy melodies of “The Wait” and “Congratulations” (a
cover of a song from Strange Magic, a one-man band from New Mexico).
A word to the wise: Subjangle only manufactures about 125 CDs
of any given release and these have been known to sell out within 48 hours (some
have already been sold through a pre-order campaign.)
