Field Hospitals’s Romantically Nostalgic “Everyfire” is a Jangle Pop Post-Punk Ballad About Reconnecting With One’s Passions

Field Hospitals from Minneapolis offer an expansion of its jangle pop sound on new single “Everyfire.” Sonically it resonates with the kind of mood and melodies of mid-to-late 80s New Order and The Call at once. There is a sense of romantic nostalgia to the song that puts one in a reflective mood with the guitars and more driving rhythms paired with a background harmonic in sustained synths as the lyrics seem to hearken back to cherished memories and former inspirations and passions that may have been left behind but which can be rekindled if you want with some help which the lyrics seem to ask for. The first part of the song sounds more yearning but the song itself ends on a satisfying note of maybe having decided on acting toward a new sense of self and purpose rather than merely wanting that to come to pass. Listen to “Everyfire” on Spotify and follow Field Hospitals on Instagram.
