There's so much music out there that's simultaneously beautiful and disconnected. It's a sensation that any music junkie is bound to experience after years of perusing through blogs and music review sites, the feeling that there doesn't really seem to be much music that's applicable to life. It's always true that I can listen to as much Wu-Tang as I want, but that won't ever change the fact that I'm a rich kid living in the suburbs. I won't ever quite
experience the albums' purposes, no matter how many lyrics I choose to dissect. This is the case with many of the artists I'm recommended, and while it's easy enough to appreciate good music it's nowhere near the bonding experiences necessary for an album to truly speak to the listener. This is precisely why Solar Fields is such a rejuvenating listen, and is recommended for anybody that's gotten a little disillusioned with the idea of meaningful music. It's exactly what you want it to be - it's expansive and brooding, grandiose and sprawling and is tethered to our world and its inhabitants.
