Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields

Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields
Argonauta Records – 2021
Rock, Blues, Seventies
Rated: ***

It will be released tomorrow. The debut self-titled album by the Wooden Fields trio. Featuring guitarist Sartez Faraj from Three Seasons, Mouth Of Clay. Siena Root bassist Sam Riffer and Fredrik Jansson Punkka from Witchcraft, Angel Witch & more on the drums. So indeed, a veritable who is who from the Swedish heavy rock scene and this of course immediately promises a lot for the debut release. It delivers the goods without a doubt, but perhaps due to the high expectations, not completely. We are treated to seven compositions that will surely transport you to the seventies and not only that, but often to a more soft-spoken Jimi Hendrix concert, where you are sure to ride your dirt-bike around the rings of Saturn and then take a breather on a colorful shag carpet. It’s fuzzy, bluesy, soulful and electric. Vintage by default, the bopping rhythms, the soulful vocals and damn tasty guitar work are there to bring an ode to nostalgia. Three cats that that know what they want to do and what to bring; but did not manage to capture lightning in a bottle out there in the fields. Out there in the Wooden Fields… This time around…
