I love it when you can't tell a band is from some another country until you read it. The Crayon Fields originated in Melbourne, Australia, but it's a vague fact when listening to their music. Today, you can hear their new EP for free at Bandcamp, where you can get the songs solo or en masse. A nice mix of live tracks, cover songs and original material, Make Peace with Love is excellent for the new venturer and familiar listener.
"All the Pleasures of the World" isn't brand spankin' new, but if you want a little taste of what you can get for a quick email surrender, click above and download below. You know, the usual drill. The airy vocals and echoing guitar pickings are a soothing escape that have a shallow depth much like the distance between being awake and asleep.
