The fourth offering by L.A. mirage duo Spectral Fields (aka Jason Simon of Dead Meadow and Caleb Dravier of Jungle Gym Records) is a slow-burn trip of outer desert improv, tracked live to reel-to-reel for maximum resinous depth.

Both sides of IV capture the project’s mantric landscape of long shadows, distant smoke, and embers in the fog. Organs and hand drums float in spirals between flickers of fried, spidery guitar and processional dirge. Time dissipation via entwined ritual: the Fields sing Spectral.
