Description
"There's no shortage of backstory for the man behind Little Wings: Kyle Field has been a surfer, a transient living out of the back of a camper, an artist who'll soon be publishing a book, and a member of a band with M. Ward. He's also collaborated with everyone from unsung lo-fi folkies from Indiana to Jason Lytle of Grandaddy.Even with Field's long history, you can jump in right here with Soft Pow'r, a completely self-contained and accessible work that is more austere than many of his records but no less affecting. For all his prior collaborative work, this album sounds very isolated. The quiet acoustic opener "Scuby" sets the tone for the rest of the brief and understated record, just Field's voice and guitar with subtle additions like the muffled drum loop and few scattered, idle notes of piano. There's no shortage of precious singer/songwriter records in the world, but Field's voice is distinct and has both tenderness and quiet authority." - Pitchfork
