Fields of Dawn - Destination Unknown


Destination Unknown is the brand new album from Fields of Dawn coming on 01/01/2024. 11 brand new tracks written and recorded between May and July 2023. The album is available to pre-order from rivers2cross on Clear Vinyl, CD, Download and Flash Drive and all profits will be donated to The Bowel Movement, Bowel Cancer UK and Love Hope Strength.

The album builds on the sounds created on 2022’s A New Dawn. The big change with this album has been switching from using a BOSS digital recorder to Logic Pro software. This has enabled more experimentation, has also made it a lot easier to manipulate the production on individual tracks and push multi-tracking that much further. Having said all that, my intention was to retain the punky/power pop quite innocent sound of Fields of Dawn and I feel I have very much done that. Completing the album in a short space of time also brought a real continuity to the song writing and recording processes. Lyrics wise it’s a pretty honest and personal album.

Pre-sales are a vital part of the project. The outlay on purchasing, especially the Vinyl and CDs, is high and with all the profits being donated the more pre-sales received make it a more viable fundraising release. With the previous album I ordered the Vinyl from the Far East, which kept the unit cost down, but I was left with 50 out of the 100 records unsold. As much as I wanted to do the same thing again, it really isn’t financially viable unless you get a very demand. So, it will almost certainly be a much smaller UK lathe pressing run this time, which unfortunately does push the price of the vinyl up. Hopefully with all the different formats there is something there for everyone. Please support the album if you can and I am, as ever, truly grateful for all your support x

The album comes with its own clothing range. The album artwork has been done by sanclementebetty and the clothing designs are based up those designs. Incredible work… There are also some accessories available including a wrist watch, key ring, handwritten lyrics and more stuff to be added nearer the release date.
