SONG PREMIERE: Field Guide Delivers Melodic Nostalgia on “Tupperware”

Field Guide sets to combine nostalgia with a musical aptitude that combines indie folk, stream of conscious lyrics and picturesque melodies. Dylan MacDonald the voice and mind behind Field Guide bring a hush Iron & Wine vibe to this collective musical approach that will see a melodic expansion on the upcoming LP Make Peace With That, out Sept. 17th. Field Guide just announced a tour supporting Leif Vollebekk that runs through their home surroundings of Canada – check below for a full list of dates.

Glide is premiering the quaint “Tupperware,” (below) a track of sweet idealism and hummable hooks. MacDonald has a yearning for nostalgia and this colorful effort plays like a well-worn mixtape that brings transports the listener to a time place.

“Once in a while if you’re open to it, the universe may use you as a vehicle, this was the case with Tupperware which came bursting out of me in a cool 20 minutes. I love that feeling and I really love this song, it’s about my early days living in Winnipeg, it’s about Tuesday nights in Osborne Village where a couple of wicked soul bands play weekly, it’s about my favorite restaurant which has since closed its doors, it’s about the beautiful parts of life that aren’t meant to last forever, and that’s okay,” says MacDonald.

“I wrote this album while swimming through a sea of change. ‘Tupperware’ came to be as my life in Winnipeg was coming to a close, I’d just moved out of my house, ended a relationship and was set to move to Toronto as soon as a cheap sublet surfaced. In September 2019 I finished mixing my previous release ‘You Were’ just outside of Vancouver, I jumped on a plane and flew straight to Toronto to move into a little basement apartment at Crawford and Harbord St. in Toronto’s Westend. For the next few months I wrote songs, put together a band and started to play around town, and then I met someone who made the songs come out even faster than before. The world shut down and I started looking inward, writing and writing some more. In the summer of 2020 I rented a van and drove back to Manitoba to make this album with my dear friends, I hope you like it!”
