Brooklyn-based act Field Guides compel through their new single “Esposus,” which rides radiantly on jangly guitars and perky keys. Benedict Kupstas’ songwriting engages with spirited, nostalgic qualities — cohesively straddling lush contemplation with twangy hooks. The “at the botanical garden,” segment finds a particularly stellar intertwining of these delectable guitar tones and escalating synth-y effervescence.
The track, whose lyrics show “a relationship at a crossroads in vivid vignettes,” is an enjoyable showcase of the project’s sharp songwriting.
