The Field

"Soft Streams" (Live in Berlin)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 16, 2016

Devotees of Stockholm minimalist the Field (a.k.a. Axel Willner) are getting another preview of his upcoming The Follower LP. Following a few other live samples, he's now let loose a concert version of the record's "Soft Streams."

While the cut is initially covered in a cloud of ethereal electronics, the Field quickly marches the song forward with a digital 3/4 drum rhythm. The nearly 11-minute piece, recorded during a concert in Berlin, eventually adds a few fun and squelchy synth bass melodies to the mix.

You'll find the Berlin-captured "Soft Streams" in the player below, while The Follower arrives April 1 via Kompakt Records.
