The Crayon Fields – ‘Mirrorball’

The Crayon Fields – ‘Mirrorball’ (mp3)

‘Mirrorball’ sounds like a sixties girl group pop song or something from The Zombies. It’s got a clean, scratchy guitar line, a instantly endearing vocal melody, whimsical vocals and classic harmonies. This is pop music in the pure, retro sense, but it isn’t a superficial genre exploration. With indie music looking back to this aesthetic as its latest sound du jour, it’s comforting to know that The Crayon Fields have explored sixties pop territory for a few years now. And they’re still going it better than most others.  These guys  just have a knack for writing songs that sound recognisable upon first listen.
