Album Review: Field Medic - grow your hair long if you're wanting to see something that you can change

“Field Medic, real name Kevin Patrick Sullivan, takes no time in revealing his nihilism on the album, commencing the opener “Always Emptiness” with the line: “I wanna fall off the face of the Earth and probably die.” It’s an uncompromising introduction, but anyone who’s suffered bouts of debilitating depression will immediately identify with the urge. They should also recognise the insertion of the word “probably” in there too; it’s not a certainty that he will die. Sullivan may act like he has absolutely no desire left to live, but there’s almost always a little spark of resistance deep down in the pit, an ember that doesn’t go out – an urge to keep going despite the weight of everything”

Field Medic has a magical ability to turn his worst feelings into beautiful music. My review of his latest album is on BPM.
