From June 7-10, Records will be only $1 (plus shipping) with code vcfriends!!!!!! https://danielfield.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-violet-hours Hey everyone! I made a record! I am really proud to share the preorder on vinyl and tape of my upcoming album, In The Violet Hours, which will be released digitally and on cassette on December 1, and on vinyl in April. Both cassette and vinyl are limited to 100 copies each, and I'm making the prices really really low to entice folks to pick up copies. Records are $5 plus shipping (about $7 to anywhere in the world, which is about as cheap as it gets from Canada). Tapes are $1 shipped). Listen to the whole album for free! PM me if you want a download code - I have lots! http://danielfield.bandcamp.com In The Violet Hours contains 11 original songs about love, grammar, and oral hygiene, written between 2002 and 2015. The album was recorded predominantly in the nook adjacent to my kitchen, in short intervals while my toddler slept. I played every instrument except for violin, and sang all songs, with some help from my wife and friends. I was heavily influenced by many of my musical heroes, including Paul Westerberg, Hayden, Elvis Costello, Mark Kozelek, and Ryan Adams. The album came to fruition to exist on vinyl through a surprise 30th birthday gift last year, where my friends basically crowdfunded the money to put my music on wax (!). While entirely home-recorded, the album was professionally mastered at the Lacquer Channel in Toronto. Update March 18: still waiting on vinyl. Hopefully early April. But as of now, my album is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Tidal, etc. Give it a listen! April 10 Update: Records have finally landed after close to 8 months. Shipping now. $5 + shipping, and come with a free cassette copy.

Have you ever wondered what Reel Big Fish's Sell Out would sound like as a 70s-style California folk rock song? No? What about the Pietasters' Higher as if it were from a Muppet movie? Really? Not even a bit curious? What about a Slackers song as a quiet folk ballad? Or a Mad Caddies song in the style of a Neil Young jam? Well if you were even vaguely curious about any of the above, you're in luck. I've just released and shared my newest album, Third Wave Mixtape to the unsuspecting public. Nine covers of ska and ska punk songs from the late 90s, an era when most high school band horn players could somehow find themselves on national television, and skanking was an acceptable dance move. The album was entirely recorded and performed by me over the last three months and is available to stream and download for free via Bandcamp: https://danielfield.bandcamp.com/album/third-wave-mixtape Tracklisting: 1. Sell Out (Reel Big Fish) 2. Higher (The Pietasters) 3. Rules of the Game (The Hotknives) 4. Redlight (The Slackers) 5. Far Behind (The Hippos) 6. All My Best Friends Are Metalheads (Less Than Jake) 7. Nude Beach (The Scofflaws) 8. A Year Of This (The Undercovers) 9. The Bell Tower (The Mad Caddies)

My wife says my pile of cassettes is taking up too much space, so please help me find them a good home. Daniel Field - In The Violet Hours RIYL: Ryan Adams, New Pornographers, Red House Painters, Hayden, Foxes In Fiction, Owen Pallett, Elvis Costello, etc. Cassettes $1 USD anywhere in the world, no additional shipping. Every copy comes with a download code. Yes, I am aware I will lose a bit of money shipping, but I'm excited to share my music. Buy via my Bandcamp or PM on VC: http://danielfield.bandcamp.com I have a thread in the vinyl section too, since this will be available on vinyl in March, but I thought I'd share in this section too. Here's a link to the original thread. Vinyl is still available for cheap.
