Biography

The Strapping Fieldhands started out in the early ’90s playing “Appalachian inbred squonk” on junk shop instruments. The band’s sound evolved quickly and drastically in the time leading up to their outstanding 1994 LP Discus (Omphalos), but even their latest album, 2002’s relatively refined The Third Kingdom (Omphalos), retains much of the slobbering, delirious quality of their first singles. Though the Fieldhands are based in Philadelphia, PA, they sound like denizens of some stunningly pretty British backwater where people fiddle with radio antennae to pick up faint broadcasts of skiffle, traditional English folk and ’60s psychedelic rock.

I get a high with "Looking Into The Sun," the girl vocals are astounding.

Hardly remembered, but their awesome album Discus is being reissued (possibly issued on CD for the first time?) by a label in Memphis sometime in the near future/recent past.
