Crayon Fields
All The Pleasures Of The World
Melbourne, Australia minor key pop magicians Crayon Fields released their second album 'All The Pleasures Of The World' in 2009. Just over a decade later they revisit this era-defining album with a deluxe vinyl reissue, including new liner notes and a raft of bonus tracks. With its loping bass lines, swooning strings and eerie, hypnotic harmonies, 'All The Pleasures Of The World' quickly assumed the status of a 21st century indie classic. The initial vinyl run sold out very quickly, and for the last decade fans have been harrassing the band for a repress. Crayon Fields have gone one step beyond, with newly penned liner notes from frontman Geoffrey O'Connor as well as Melbourne novelist/scriptwriter Anna Barnes (Content). The first pressing is on blue/green "galaxy swirl" coloured vinyl, and the band have raided their archives to unearth a trove of rare bonus tracks. These include single B-sides, covers of Abba, Roxette and Kath Bloom, and even moog-driven lounge instrumental versions of key singles 'Mirror Ball' and the album title track.
