Field Report is the project of Chris Porterfield, who played in DeYarmond Edison with Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) and the members of Megafaun. Their music is lyric-centric and extremely emotional, driven by seemingly effortless playing and Porterfield’s honest vocals. A couple months back, when the New York City air was still sticky and smelled of sweet garbage, we met with Field Report (@_fieldreport) to record a Buzzsession at the Burnside Bar in Brooklyn. It was a gorgeous day so we were able to shoot the two songs in the wood fenced-in rustic back terrace, which complimented the group’s folksy sound perfectly. Watch both videos and download the Buzzsession versions of the songs for free below using the Soundcloud player.
In September, Field Report released their self-titled debut record (which you can buy here), and just recently finished touring with Aimee Mann.
Like the illustration? It’s the handywork of illuzigner Lisa Ito. You can take a peek at more of her work on her website and sketchblog.
