THE FIELD is Axel Willner, and his last album, 'From Here We Go Sublime', was one of the most acclaimed releases of 2007, faceless, futuristic, and fuzzy. You could dance to it, sleep to it, or daydream to it. Now, Willner's label, KOMPAKT, moves forward with his sophomore full length, 'Yesterday And Today'. On the new album, Willner expands his palette, continuing the oblique sampling strategy of 'From Here We Go Sublime' while building up the rhythmic architecture; the album features a group of different musicians and on the title track, Willner collaborates for the first time with BATTLES drummer John Stanier. The Field has had a remarkable past year touring the globe with his band performing a slew of key summer festivals slots that included Oye, Bestival and Creamfields. Since startling the world with 'From Here We Go Sublime', Willner has been much in demand as a remixer, with tracks from Thom Yorke to Battles to Maps. Catch the live show with live visuals and live backing from percussionist Dan Enqvist and multi-instrumentalist Andreas Söderstrom at Tripod on January 22nd.
