This highly anticipated follow-up last year's critic's pick, "Featuring Birds" and 1997's "R&B' Transmogrification," secures Quasi status as one of the foremost purveyors of underground. Every element that made their previous albums widely acclaimed-concise songwriting, arching melodies, and dead on harmonies atop occasionally clamorous and always propulsive rhythms, is further developed on "Field Studies." the tonal palette is expanded to include strings, church organ, Theremin and various electronic instruments, in addition to the keyboards, guitars and drums which has been Quasi's mainstay.
