Around this time, the band were making frequent journeys in and out of the UK in support of the record, becoming increasingly attuned to the country’s particular visual language: a palette of contrasting grey concrete and deep British green.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith little respite between records, the band continued to write and record, developing what felt like a natural extension of the path established by EXPO. Sonically, they continued to explore the tension between ultra-digital electronic textures and a more analogue, human warmth. Yet where EXPO was preoccupied with the isolation of an intensely individualistic online existence, field to the left turns its attention towards isolation in suburban environments — those liminal spaces where one is neither quite in the city nor fully immersed in nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title itself plays on the notion of the “left field” — a term frequently applied to art that is unexpected, unconventional or resistant to easy categorisation. In pursuing that spirit, the band\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e allowed themselves a greater degree of experimentation, delving further into electronic textures while simultaneously embracing heavier guitar arrangements and unfamiliar tunings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“After finishing EXPO, it felt like we had built a bit of a sonic world that we wanted to deepen. On that record, there was perhaps a greater focus on sampling ourselves, but towards the end of that process we started really enjoying making things from scratch with guitars again. It was a period of listening to a lot of electronic music, while also sketching with guitars in nu-metal-like tunings.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Full Time Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60306383765888,"sku":"FTH665EP","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/8617\/8290\/files\/FTH665LP.jpg?v=1793700681","url":"https:\/\/fulltimehobby.co.uk\/products\/ulrika-spacek-field-to-the-left-ep","provider":"Full Time Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
