THE FIELD‘s brilliant 2011 album Looping State Of Mind was one of my favorite records of the year, and earlier this morning it was announced he’s busy at work on the follow-up. FACT caught up with THE FIELD (a.k.a. Axel Willner) to discuss his newer, darker, slower, and zero-computer-usage album entitled Cupid’s Head: “‘When I started to work on ‘Cupid’s Head’ it was quite awkward,’ claims Willner. ‘I felt that I had nothing to put into a new album and I’m not the type to sit down and force something out in the studio. But then, after a few modest attempts, I got a first loop together and running which turned out (in a short time) to be ‘No.No…’. It was a revelation of sorts as making it felt new to me, and different, and that’s when it all came out.'” THE FIELD’s Cupid’s Head is set for release on September 30th. For all things THE FIELD be sure to visit his home page at his label Kompakt Records, follow him on Facebook, and pick up your own copy of his must-have 2011 album Looping State of Mind via iTunes.
