Track list

PLAYFIELD is a three-album trilogy project, and its second volume, The Middle embodies its name in every way. Described by the musicians behind it as a center of conflict, of a collective dynamic, of rising tension and different voices, or in their words, as they “agree to disagree...to discover and resolve or abandon [the project].” Throughout the extended track, Carter’s clarinet engages with Ishito’s saxophone, sharing the soprano section with Luisa Muhr’s indecipherable vocals. Bassist Zach Swanson sets a steady electric structure, complemented by Panikkar’s sparse drumming, and Plak’s weighted keys. Guitarists Namenwirth and Takahashi perform assuredly, and playfully around the other structures. The album’s arc, after slowing in the middle, crescendos at the end towards an unknown conclusion, ending as it began. PLAYFIELD’s three albums will be offered online and in an exclusive, limited-edition CD pressing of 50.
