Summertime Songs

2018 release from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based folk band. Field Report founder and frontman Christopher Portefield shares his own thoughts about the album: People have called our first record wintery. And Marigolden was autumnal. This is our version of a Summer record. It has hooks. It's a pop record. When you make something, you're going to pick up some of the environment in which it was made. It was made in the summer. It was also made in the midst of the disintegration of relationships: partners were quitting on each other; barrel bottoms were discovered; health was compromised. And America was running a parallel kamikaze breakup narrative. It was all in the air, and it is all in the record.
