\"\"The intangible \u2018it\u2019; that moment when you\u2019re listening to a record and it just makes you want to sing along and punch the air; that moment when you know a record\u2019s not just good, or excellent but exceptional. <\/figure>\n

As someone who has been writing about music for a long time \u2013 nigh on 15 years \u2013 it\u2019s still the reason I do it. Not to belittle a band or make myself feel important, but to listen to new music in the hope that it gives me that indescribable \u2018it\u2019 moment. Only 4 songs long (plus a couple of digital bonus tracks) but Track and Field\u2019s<\/b> debut \u2018You Are My Home\u2019<\/i> throws such moments around with such reckless abandon they make this music lark appear so simple. <\/p>\n

Take, for example, \u2018Swift\u2019<\/i> with its mathy, almost funky, wandering guitar line and superb gang-vocal chorus if you want an exhibit A. Or the gorgeous, rolling \u2018World\u2019<\/i> which recalls the likes of Chamberlain or latter-day Jazz June (it also works beautifully when stripped back to an acoustic song as one of the bonus tracks) if you need more convincing. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In fact, there\u2019s not a bad song on offer. ‘For A While\u2019<\/i> harks back to the glory days of Deep Elm, sitting snugly alongside the powerful yet accessible sounds of Camber and Brandtson, while \u2018Ghost Sleep\u2019<\/i> is a wonderful riot of layered vocals and strong melodies. <\/p>\n

As I alluded to before, there\u2019s really nothing better than a band absolutely nailing their sound and style from the off, and for a debut (even if the guys involved have had a strong musical heritage), \u2018You Are My Home\u2019<\/i> is simply breath-taking. Naturally, Track and Field<\/b> deserve to find a huge audience, and it would be a real travesty if we\u2019re not hearing a lot more about them over the next 12 months. <\/p>\n

5\/5<\/p>\n

‘You Are My Home’<\/em> EP by Track and Field<\/strong> is out now.<\/p>\n
