“Good Field’s mellow shoegaze sound traces back through principal Paul Price’s former acts, with hints of indie pop darlings Voxtrot’s melodic crispness and Brazos’ atmospheric wash.” So writes Doug Freeman about the locals’ second LP, Future Me, out today. The review appears in our August dish of Mondo Platters, but a posh video for the disc sells it now.
Like the best tunes, “Business” takes an everyday phrase and hangs a lyrical hook on it so obvious and natural it’s inconceivable the song never existed before. Matched to home invasion visuals shot at a high-end Austin vista and the whole endeavor’s, well… criminal. Good Field captain Paul Price filled in the details:
“The music video was directed and recorded by Zack Scott and Last Resort Productions,” he writes. “The two main characters are Willis McClung and Jesse Elder. Willis, the blonde wearing the luchador mask, is an amazing musician and has been a friend of the band for awhile now. Jesse Elder, the charming bearded man wearing the luchador mask, conducts workshops that encourage people, specifically entrepreneurs. He’s also the owner of the house that we shot the film in West Austin.
“The girl sitting on the couch in headphones is Kate St. Claire, a young adult fiction author in Austin currently working on the screenplay for her first feature film.”
The promotional clip arcs well enough that you wish for more episodes of the narrative.
