Lindsay Powell, singer and keyboardist for the Chicago psych band Ga’an, also has a more solo-ish project called Fielded, and on April 23rd she will release her second album, Ninety Thirty Thirty (Captcha Records), under this moniker. Her work for Fielded has often been built around treated and layered vocals as the primary instrumentation, but on her newest she is joined by friends for a singular and mysterious musical experience that is still rooted in her operatic and entrancing voice. Recorded at a studio set up in her childhood home in New Jersey, Powell used her suburban isolation to help her more clearly craft Ninety Thirty Thirty, an album inspired by a dream. She explains, “Ninety Thirty Thirty comes from a cinematic, science fiction dream I had while I was on tour. I was the founder of a cult in post-apocalyptic America called “Ninety Thirty Thirty.” Ninety represented the Uterus and Thirty Thirty the ovaries. What a code to unlock, I thought. And I think that’s what Fielded deals in often. The decoding of experience. We’ll never understand ourselves but there are so many questions that allow for amazing records or songs or relationships along the way.”
