The Radio Field – Don’ts & Dos (Album) – Release Aug 25th<\/h2>\n

“These songs by The Radio Field burrow their way through my ear canal direcly into the comfort center of my brain – and stay there forever. Already their debut “Simple EP”, that Lars (known for his songwriting skills from the institutional band Subterfuge) recorded mostly on his own was a killer, here is the eagerly awaited album Don’ts And Dos. And these ten songs, produced in bass player Christoph’s Domblick Studio in Cologne and enriched with well-known guests (Robert Stadtlober, Stefanie Schrank, Phantom Handshakes, Bukahara) are catchy tunes start to finish! Landmarks! Instant Hits! Or how do you call songs you can sing along with and that put a spring in your shoes for the entire day?” MARK KOWARSCH (Sharon Stoned, Speedniggs, Antik\u00f6rper on ByteFM)<\/p>\n

THE RADIO FIELD: What started as the lockdown homerecording project of Lars from Subterfuge now became a proper band with Mark Specht (first Subterfuge drummer), Christoph Schneider (Bass –\u00a0\u00a0Clayton Farlow, Klee, Soap\/Soccer) and Philipp Breuer (Guitar – Pale) joining in. Their debut album DON’TS AND DOS will be realeased (LP, CD, digital) on Aug 25 via Subjangle (SA) and Less Records (DE), distributed by Cargo Records.<\/p>\n

Press Quotes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This album is a happy celebration of timless melodies – POP in capital letters, that would deserve a million listeners. BEDROOMDISCO<\/p>\n

This kind of album normally comes from the UK. Sounds wonderful, just like Teenage Fanclub with members of Slowdive and The Pastels recording for a resurrected Sarah Records.\u00a0RHEINISCHE POST<\/p>\n

… will make you go to the top of a mountain and scream for joy. It\u2019s\u00a0that\u00a0good. DAGGERZINE<\/p>\n

Sehr hittig LINUS VOLKMANN<\/p>\n

These easy, floating songs on “Don’ts and Dos” are touching and charming… it all fits perfectly together and makes your heart glow COOLIBRI<\/p>\n

\u201eJangle Pop as it\u2019s most perfectly considered \u2026. that has never felt so dynamic in the hands of a modern act\u201c JANGLEPOPHUB<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Band Bio (long version)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So here i was in late 2020, the first year of the pandemic. We were in our second lockdown and things at home started becoming more and more a routine. My band Subterfuge<\/em> had just recently reformed and our album Dots.<\/em> was in the final stages of recording, where my parts were fully done already. Also for my other, almost life-long project The Modern Air & Space Society<\/em> on which I had been working for the last 15 years (still to be released) all recordings had been made and I was still waiting for my partner Lomp to create the corresponding comic.<\/p>\n

Some say it only takes enough boredom and a musical instrument to create something good. I picked up the guitar much more than usual while the Social Media work for Subterfuge<\/em> had reminded me a lot of the heyday of my musical socialisation: C86, early Creation, US College Rock. Within a couple of days a handful of songs came out just like this.\u00a0All shops were closed at the time so I mail-ordered a Rickenbacker 12-string, got the AC30 home from the practice room and started recording those songs. Josephine came with the train one Saturday, sang her angelic backing vocals in the corner between the wall and the wardrobe and my son Gustav added some high notes right in time before he went into his puberty vocal change. And so this was that.<\/p>\n

On its release the reactions to Simple EP were close to overwhelming. Not only was there lots of interest and very positive feedback, i was also asked by good friends if we should form a real band out of it. And here we are now with Mark Specht (Drums, founding member of Subterfuge), Christoph Scheider (Bass, former member of Klee, Clayton Farlow, Soap, Soccer) and Philipp Breuer (Lead Guitar, of Pale fame) and myself. With people sharing similar tastes and a musical vision an album full of songs was arranged in no time and recordings were started already at the second rehearsal. From first ideas to a longplayer (album drops in August) in a bit over half a year is an absolute record time in my personal musical story and the result still entails more of myself than any other release before.<\/p>\n

Aren’t three musical outlets (I have another postal indie electro band called Quent<\/em>, which had a break at the time too) enough i was asked. And the answer probably should have been a clear yes. Well, you wouldn’t be reading these lines if I had followed that advice. And hey, isn’t it the silly and superfluous that is the most fun?<\/p>\n
