What It Costs Foreign Fields

Field Notes

What It Costs" finds a unique place somewhere between the inventive energy of Talking Heads and the introspective soundscapes of Radiohead, yet it confidently establishes its own voice. Anchored by lush analog synths, warm Wurlitzer tones, and impeccably mic’d dead drums, the album is a tribute to simplicity and depth. The harmonies feel earnest and grounded, while Nate Babbs (drums) and Nick Morawiecki (guitar) have crafted a timeless collection that balances introspection with a sense of stillness.

One standout, “When You Are,” is spotlighted on Absynthe Minded for its tribal electronica groove, a pulsing escape from the everyday. What It Costs feels like a quiet journey inward, offering listeners a chance to step back and consider everything with a sense of calm amidst the modern clamor.
