Fields - 'Charming The Flames' (Atlantic) Released 26/03/07

On the vinyl version of this is printed like cave-painting, a code for free tunes off the internet. This tune is good enough without gimmicks, though. 'Charming The Flames' has a Coldplay-sized guitar riff, at the same time as the line "You've already brought me down, spent a lifetime waiting quietly to drown". Drown in piss? This is top bed-wetter music, then. Fields have pissed away a song as good as 'When You Sleep' for the b-side and that bodes well for the album. The acoustic version of 'Charming The Flames' also shines, without the studio sheen.
