Promise And The Monsters ethereal masterpiece Closed My Eyes is brought back to life in new remix by The Field
Having established herself as one of Sweden’s most esoteric and mesmerising songwriters, with critical acclaim from Uncut, Mojo, The Clash and Pitchfork, and shows with the likes of Chelsea Wolfe, Mark Kozelek and Jens Lekman in recent years, Promise and the Monster (aka Billie Lindahl) returned in 2021 to deliver her latest sweeping EP "Chewing Gum". Lifted from the enticing collection was first single "Closed my eyes", which is now brought back to life by acclaimed ambient techno producer The Field in an ethernal beaty remix.
Speaking about the track, Billie said, “I wrote 'Closed My Eyes' surprisingly quickly after thinking about the ambiguity in that image, closing one's eyes for various reasons. It was good fuel. The women in this song are out roaming in the streets. Marilyn is famous and Kimberly and Brenda got killed by Ted Bundy.”
While adding on the new remix, "I asked Axel in the midst of the pandemic to do a remix from the Chewing Gum ep and luckily for me he was up to it. He picked Closed my Eyes, and I listened to it a couple of weeks later, walking over the Västerbron bridge in Stockholm when the jasmin was blooming, and felt like I could just be in it forever. I really like the dry vocals and down pitched choir in the end and he just transformed the original song into something weird, fluid and playful that's amazing."
Axel Willner’s background in punk and avantgarde electronics came to full bloom with his widely acclaimed The Field project, combining affinities for classic pop (Lionel Richie, Kate Bush), shoegaze bands (Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine) and 90s experimental ambient. Signed to Kompakt in 2004, this monicker constructs ambient techno based on a stoic motorik and a perpetually rotating hook, with the debut full-length "From Here We Go Sublime" receiving highest accolades from the likes of NME, the BBC or Pitchfork - who went on to place it inside the Top 200 records of the decade. According to Metacritic, it was the best-reviewed album of the year, tied with Untrue by Burial.
Extensively touring the globe’s festivals and clubs, Willner soon incorporated a backing band to his solo act, fostering a more organic evolution of The Field’s ever-expanding sound palette. A renewed interest in collaboration saw Willner joining Cologne Tape, a Germany-based collective including (among others) Battles’ John Stanier, Jens-Uwe Beyer, Barnt, Ada and Jörg Burger.
While turning in excellent work with side projects Loops Of Your Heart and Hands, Willner also released "Cupid’s Head" in 2013, his fourth album as The Field, which has been hailed by Resident Advisor as "one of Willner’s most affirming and beatific creations to date", and follows it up by the 2016 full-length offering "The Follower". Two years later, The Field presents his sixth full-length album "Infinite Moment", which sees him striding further across the deeper, richer rims of the hue cycle. In Willner's own words, "the threshold of creating something new had to be broken", as had been done with his past albums, including his acclaimed debut 'From Here We Go Sublime'.
Promise And The Monster "Close My Eyes (The Field Remix)" is released August 27 2021 through Icons Creating Evil Art.
