The Nields – If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now (Zoe Records 2000)

            The Nields return with their second album on Zoe Records. If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now is a similar theme album to Play. The theme of If You Live Here is the characters that make up a town. The Nields consist of Katryna Nields on lead vocals, Nerissa Nields on acoustic and electric guitar, David Nields on electric guitar, David Chalfant on bass, and David Hower on drums.

            The Nields experiment more in If You Lived Here. This is most evident in the string arrangement that makes up “Maybe It’s Love” and the piano arrangement of “One Hundred Names.” In addition the CD is filled with trumpets, clarinets, and other brass that add a distinctive character to the Nields signature sound. This sound is made by the soaring harmonies of Nerissa and Katryna Nields.

             There are many songs that stick out on If You Lived Here. “Jeremy Newborn Street”, and “May Day Café” use the happy, pop-folk characteric of The Nields. “One Hundred Names” is an awe inspiring piece about unconditional love. “This Town Is Wrong” is a piece about moving on. Throughout the CD the listener also meets different characters including Jack, Angela, and Caroline. Pay attention to the cover song, and the poem.

            If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now is an energy filled, creative album. Coming to the mythical town the listener will find no reason to leave. If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now is in stores March 21, 2000. Look for The Nields interview in FEMMUSIC in April, 2000.
