M Field Announces EP Release Date And New Single, Andrew

SA’s hit singer/songwriter M Field has announced a release date for his long-awaited EP, coupled with the news of a 3rd single, Andrew. The EP, M Field, releases worldwide 2 Sept. The first singles, Gargoyle and Leafy Outlook, have both become Top 10 chart successes on South African radio.

Before embarking on a solo career, Matthew Field was the lead singer for the 7 x SAMA-winning Beatenberg. The band’s successes saw them building a loyal following around the country, releasing many hit singles as well as being featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  

Matthew explains the inspiration behind the EP: 
“In making an album there is kind of a tension between attention to the part and attention to the whole. In this case I started with attention to each song – some were picked out from old demos and reworked, some were more freshly written. And of course, as time goes on and work is done things begin to cohere in unexpected ways, connections appear that can be strengthened.”

He adds: 
“Working with producer Bullion also led to more sonic unity, and inspired me to write into that further as I make songs to come. I am calling it simply M Field partly because I like the convention of the eponymous first album, and also because it is the truest way of naming what is common to all the songs. Even more important though is that the songs also give meaning to my name, and in that way name me.”

M Field’s solo work this year has proven a success in South Africa as well as the UK. The English media have received his new work very favourably with editorial support in Fader,NPRi-DClashThe IndependentThe Times and more.

Matthew travels to the UK soon to for an upcoming show at the well-known Moth Club on 13th October

The 3rd single, Andrew, releases Fri 4 June. Matthew explains the inspiration behind the song: 
“The obvious question – who is Andrew? Like in dreams, in songs everyone is you. But also nothing I say outside of my songs is actually true. The key of Andrew is to D major as 95bpm is to 98bpm – I slowed it down a little bit. The song started with the chorus and it took me a while to find the right verse. I really like the end bit with all the orchestral instruments and hope to do more stuff like that.”
