THE COLD FIELD - Bring Triumph Against Darkness With New Album

Australian post-punk dark-wave duo The Cold Field has just unveiled their highly-anticipated new full-length album, Hollows. Conceived when hospitalized, songwriter and producer Ian Messenger wrote and produced prolific forty-odd dark-minded songs the following year, of which ten were chosen for Hollows.

Depressive themes of gloom and emptiness pervade the album but there is also a triumph against the darkness, a fist-waving into the void, and intimacy along with detachment. Built on the sonic foundations of drum machines, bass guitar, synthesizers, electric guitars and distorted, cavernous vocals, The Cold Field's sound not only harks back to the early 80s and Joy Division but contemporary bands such as Lebanon Hanover and Soft Kill. Check out the video for the track "Endless Ending" in the player below.

The Cold Field is a duo of Ian Messenger and Heath Newberry and was formed in 2019. They released Black River as their full-length debut album in 2020, and 2021 brings another full-length album Hollows. They are currently working on their third album. Link
