The Black Fields - Monster

| The Black Fields - Monster |
Release Date: Out Now
Now then, I've posted a few
reviews of cover versions recently so I want to assure you that the new single
from Brighton bunch The Black Fields is not a cover the one hit wonder of the
same name by the Automatic. No, this 'Monster' is a swaggering, macarbre tune
with a penchant for the theatrical. Elements of the Doors shine through in the
arrangements and the performance of frontman Ross Scarfield. Then again, the
music has a more modern feel and influences as wide as Space, Nick Cave and the
Cooper Temple Clause can all be heard creeping out of the shadows of this tune.
Some pleasing changes of tempo and a song that feels as though it has been
thought about are both pleasing but the use of a Theramin always puts the
cherry on my musical cake. Tasty indeed.
