SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: WINFIELD – III

Winfield

WINFIELD
III
BROKEN SOUND TAPES

Winfield’s III features skilled lead vocals that exhibit considerable talent and precision, perhaps a little too polished for some. They have a synth-pop angelic smoothness, like a menthol cigarette. Sadly, they left me indifferent.

I rate the instrumentals, which move in and out of genres. I’m unsure what you’ll get with them, but they are a multilateral change-up catering to a diverse crowd. “Static” is favoured for its instrumentals. It’s simply a delightful journey.

Would I add this to my gym playlist? Probably not. Would I watch Winfield at the club? 100%. This music offers a bit of synth fuzziness that makes the backdrop melt away. Do I feel like conquering the world? Not at all. It’s a kind of sleepy tranquility.

About the Author
Victoria Love-Rainbow
I am an avid connoisseur of music experiences but never had the courage to share them until now. My inspiration comes from the '90s alternative and punk rock music I grew up listening to. Bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, Eve 6 and Everclear shaped my worldview and taste in music. I want to capture some of their energy and spirit in my stories. Thanks for checking out my bio and my work!
