Album Description
Little Wings is a diverse musical palette Kyle Field uses to paint stories with sound. The personnel in Little Wings have been in flux through both the Wonder and Light Green Leaves trilogies and last year’s Harvest Joy. Says Field, "Magic Wand is about trusting to get it right the first time (pointing your magic wand with total faith and projection and focus, sending light in this way). Magic Wand attempts a refined high realism, lyrically and musically, that I have never attempted with the voice." For this album, Field worked with producer Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, recruiting a wide variety of other artists, both musical and visual, who came and went throughout the week Magic Wand was recorded: Phil Elverum, Bobby Birdman, Lee Baggett, Genevieve Elverum, Miggy Littleton and more. This results in the child artist deep inside Kyle Field emerging to pick up a pen with his original devotion and purpose. The words "magic wand" become a synonym for a pen, a microphone, a peace pipe, a cigarette and more. This is Little Wings’ sixth album, funneling Field’s wood grain/crystal shards through the latest wave of Big Sur revivalism.
