Up until today i'd never heard of Fort Fairfield, that is until I checked the inbox to find a message from Swedish brothers Tom and John Lück. As it turns out Fort Fairfield have been around for some time, as an experimental/ambient duo making what they called “shoegaze electronic.”
Having already released two albums entitled; 'The Dead Sea Scrolls' and 'The Essential Thing Resists Telling', the guys are now moving in a slightly different direction.....towards a more mature, directed sound, which they are calling "straight pop songs with more heart than brains."
It's difficult really to describe these guys in a paragraph, their track 'Patience' gives indications that Fort Fairfield might be Sweden's answer to Radiohead minus Tom Yorke...but perhaps that's an unfair comparison....The Knife on a much calmer day? Who knows, pigeonholing music like this is difficult for all the right reasons.
Give it a listen and see what you make of it.......right now they're currently "in cabin in Lönneberga," putting the finishing touches on this track and others from their upcoming album.....and there's something undeniably awesome about that.
