Fielded is the solo project of Lindsay Powell, vocalist of Ga'an (Captcha Records) and one half of sister songstresses Festival (Language of Stone). By using vocals and minimal instrumentation, Powell explores the many moods that can be created through experimentation with voice as leader rather than follower of the amplified instrument. She moves from dark to light and back to dark - a church chorus, cacophonous chants, a post-apocalyptic pop paradise, but always of the throat; fluent and deranged. The voice is the thread throughout, tying together juxtaposing moments and revealing a world both archaic and contemporary. |
