Field Division is an independent band led by Evelyn Taylor and Nicholas Frampton. The California duo conjure up a psychedelic and cinematic blend of folk rock and alternative dream pop. Inspired by the 1960’s and 70’s folk rock pioneers (like The Beatles, CSNY, & Fleetwood Mac). Field Division’s music transcends eras and genres while blending their retro inspired sound with modern influences like (Father John Misty, Jonathan Wilson, & Lana Del Rey) into an ethereal and timeless sound. After releasing their debut EP, ‘Reverie State’ in 2014, Field Division spent two years living on the road whilst recording their first full-length LP, Dark Matter Dreams (released by Bella Union in 2018). “[Dark Matter Dreams is] a brave leap forward from a band who seem to have their best years in front of them.” - Clash Magazine. Taylor’s ethereal vocals are complimented by Frampton’s tight harmonies and superb guitar playing, with each taking the lead on a song à la Buckingham Nicks, their chemistry weaving a path through the music and on stage. Wilder Records hailed them “reminiscent of a modern day Fleetwood Mac.”
Over the years, Field Division has toured all over the States and (playing venues like The Troubadour, The Chapel, & The Triple Door), the UK and EU, and have appeared at festivals such as SXSW, CMJ, 80/35, Hinterland, Mission Creek, Oaktopia, GDP, Indiestad (Amsterdam) & Reeperbahn (Berlin). Notable acts they’ve opened for include: Spoon, Delta Rae, Chris Stills, Horse Feathers, Josh Rouse, Erika Wennerstrom, Holly Macve, Israel Nash, Widowspeak, Josh T. Pearson, and Midlake.
Field Division began releasing new singles in early 2020: “Black Velvet Skies,” a song offering peace in the midst of relentless modern disillusionment, a George Harrison cover of “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth), “Star Where Are You,” and “Manifest.” With album number two on the horizon, the band is optimistic that their well-crafted, cinematic songs will hold up beauty and healing to this chaotic universe. Their latest single is a cover of Happy Together (by The Turtles) with The Guest and the Host.
