Altered Zones

Fielded is the moniker of songstress Lindsay Powell, who last showed up on Raven Sings the Blues as one half of the greatly under-sung folk duo Festival. Since the release of their beautifully eccentric album Come Arrow Come, Powell added her dark, bewitching vocals to Ga'an as well as her own sparse solo recordings. Following up her Terrageist cassette on Catholic Tapes with a new 7" for Sophomore Lounge, Powell's songs are as tenebrous and captivating as ever. Focusing mostly on her voice with breathy touches of synth and the occasional distant, bodily throb of percussion; Powell sings in possessed incantations, rooted in cryptic rituals that feel as deserving of rapt applause as they do of blood sacrifice.
