Reception

Factsheet Five awarded The Black Field five out of five stars and said described the music as "spare, almost minimal in much of its sound, with a "late night experimental radio" appeal"^[4] Option described the music as "not a noise fest, it is usually low key, sparse in a way, and nearly ambient" and the "ebb and flow of rumbling guitar feedback opens things up as zips and drips irregularly occur."^[5]
