Harmonie Fields - Drink From the Bowl
Vinyl BBI 0491
or CD BBI 0492.
Drink From The Bowl, the debut album from Harmonie Fields, is somewhat of a subterranean experience, as if these songs had been secreted away to lie forgotten for years, only now unearthed and brought into the light, wrapped in aged gauze and dripping with cave water. Handle it delicately and you'll be rewarded with a rich and layered musical experience.
A low-lit and dusty sound aesthetic permeates across these 8 melancholic compositions that deal in the human condition. This is emotionally resonant music, overflowing with thoughts on human nature, mythology, free will, mortality and consciousness. Violins scratch out melodies that surface and fill their lungs, pianos echo through flooded ballrooms, harmonium's churn in currents that carry us from song to song as through the rooms of some beautiful, sunken ship.
We're held fast by Andres Barlesi (instrumentation) and Richie Setford (vocals and lyrics), experienced guides who pay homage to vintage records and recording techniques and call to mind music from artists like Scott Walker, Ted Lucas, Moondog, Burt Bacharach and Arthur Russell.
Drink From The Bowl was written in Berlin between 2019-21 (mostly remotely due to the Covid-19 Pandemic) in a collaborative process where Andres would email Richie ideas to consider and work through. Once satisfied with their selection, they came together in an Ostkreuz studio to finish crafting and shaping the material and to record vocal parts, violins and any other additional instrumentation.
