Well here it is. My first complete album of music since I collaborated on the 3 Honkees back in 1994.
Yes, It’s been 15 years.
I’ve done music in that time. Lots of it, but on and off. I never had the time or discipline to record a complete album until now.
Without further ado:
Jonathan Field – Drift
1. Nocturne
2. Everything Is Wrong
3. Drift
4. Paper Time Machine
5. So Hard
6. Don’t Make Me Any Promises
7. Pretty, Sad
8. I Still Care
9. You’ve Got To Start Somewhere
10. So Long
It’s all me and only me. Everything was written and recorded in the past couple months as I aimed for the arbitrary deadline of July 4th. I have lots of thoughts about the process and the finished product, but I just pulled an all-night session and it’s time to catch some sleep before some friends arrive for a bbq in a few hours.
It’s a pretty varied collection of songs. Hopefully you can find a few songs to enjoy, and not many to hate 
Happy 4th!
Nice!
Great job on the album Jon. Sounds great. Having no idea what to expect when I clicked play, I was immediately impressed.
Re: Nice!
Hi! I must admit I’m not sure who this is… but new fan or old, thanks for the feedback
Sweet!
Congrats! It must be very satisfying to have gotten this done!
Re: Sweet!
Yep, I’m pretty happy about it. The album itself is largely about depression, but despite that, it’s creation has lifted my mood considerably
i don’t want to be unfair
but everything is wrong…
it’s melancholy, reflective… yet hopeful. melodic, articulate and creative.
well done, very impressed!
Re: i don’t want to be unfair
Thanks! That track has proven to be relatively popular. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you find some other tunes on there that you like. And send me a link to some of your more recent creations!
Or has being in a relationship (is that what they call it these days?) stolen your musical mojo?
Re: i don't want to be unfair
musical mojo a bit less productive, true. partnerships are quite time-intensive. quality musical machinations and sappy spooning sessions – why can’t we have both!?
note: i have less equipment in UK. a digital controller and recorder and the ‘ol acoustic. it’s a fair setup, but i do miss the drum set.
sigh,

Re: i don’t want to be unfair
I very much dig this mix. Listened to it twice now. Moody and other worldly in a very human way.
Re: i don’t want to be unfair
i can’t really say ‘that’s what i was going for’. it’s just stuff i love. agree that it reflects my moodiness.
was playing for mi alemana – she’s probably moving to spain soon – c’est la vie en Arup…
