Forest Field [Phil Vincent ] – Mystery & Mayhem (2024)
The last couple of years have proven to be a challenge for FOREST FIELD, the rock combo formed by American Phil Vincent and Dutch musicians Peter Cox and Bart Fleuren. But step by step the recordings for new album ”Mystery & Mayhem” were completed and finally finished, resulting in the most modern sounding Forest Field album to date.
It seems this sixth full length album is the first that does not have a (lyrical) theme running through it. Instead it is focusing on delivering the most diverse and in parts most progressive music yet. Still, the key features, melody and musicianship, are Forest Field focus, as always.
We not only get the epic 14+ minute ‘Human Jigsaw’, with a stunning middle section plenty us surprisingly twists, but also elaborated tracks like ‘Close Your Eyes’ and ‘Calling Me’. You can rock to tracks like ‘This Girl Like Rain’ or the powerful ‘The Light’. And chill a bit during midtempo number ‘Slipping Away’.
”Mystery & Mayhem” is as diverse as they come and shows a band that withstood the storms to deliver their most complete album to date.
Highly Recommended
