Prompts / Miscues (CD)
Years of collected field recordings and well-crafted melodic sojourns capture the painstaking attention to detail and layers of prompts/miscues. Billy Schuh leads The Foundry Field Recordings with a reassuring crack in his voice and boyish charm as the band responds to his lyrical musings with lush slow-core expansive envelopes of shoe-gazing feedback and dance-worthy hooks.![]()

| Pop/Shoegaze. The Foundry Field Recordings make music with a weird naive excitement that recalls Built to Spill, Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel. Strangely, this is what gives them the charm that keeps you coming back time after time. They have made a concise, pop-smart album. As a whole 'Prompts/Miscues' is essentially a shoegaze album, but it also mixes a bit of melodic rock and dream pop that makes it a very unique experience. Every song is direct and clean. For instance, "Beneath The Winter" is a catchy pop song with its layers of guitars and sharp lyrics. It's an intrinsically triumphant record and, for me, a revelation in the indie pop world. | |
