***Pleased to announce that after two years as a digital only release Little Wings' Froggy's is now available on vinyl!! We've been fans of Little Wings for 20 years now so to be able to release a new record from the brilliantly prolific Kyle Field is a dream come true! Not to mention Froggy's is one of the weirder and most amazing Little Wings albums we've heard and we're thrilled to have it here on Astral Editions. Based on a now defunct restaurant in Topanga Canyon California, Froggy's in it's hey day was an inconsistent slap dash affair with some vibrant and rotten nooks and crannies, filled with gloom and haunted sound, mood and libation, much like this creation here. Originally built in 19*coughcoughcough* as the first Topanga Canyon schoolhouse and later bought and owned by Mr. Neil Young (don't know when doesn't matter) this seemingly cursed location has traded hands and been scam wise bought and resold many many times, but it's function never seems to stick.

***Little Wings' album "Rosy's Own" is a limited release in collaboration with Perpetual Doom & Moone Records filmed and recorded on an undisclosed ranch in the mountains of Southern California. Kyle Field's intimate performance shone a light through the gray haze shrouding the skyline, with the only accompaniment being the sound of nature.

***REISSUED ON VINYL!!! "Formed on the west coast of California, Kyle Field's group Little Wings has seen endless revisions in lineup, approach and endeavor since 1998. Lauded by acts such as Feist, Real Estate and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy for being an important pillar, Little Wings low key presence has stood the test of time by embracing the timelessness of the human spirit and the struggle to maintain balance and certainty in an uncertain world. The catalogue continues to grow and ripen, and these songs are foundational in the blueprint of this ongoing institution. "Discover Worlds Of Wonder" is the second Little Wings album in the catalog and produced the classic songs "Sand Canyon" and "The Shredder" which set a template for the storytelling that would become signature in the Ouvre. Themes of cathartic isolation and redemption are at the backbone here as well as song buy song experimentation, dipping into subtle genre switching while maintaining a steady flow from song to song. Recorded on the eve of the Little Wings K Records years, one can hear the old Portland, OR sound through the lens of Adam Selzer's esteemed and long running (RIP) Type Foundry Studio, a 16 track analog institution. This is the first fully realized "band" recording from the group and serves as a seminal album in the 20 plus year spanning career of one of North America's esteemed wordsmiths." Limited to 500 black vinyl.

***Since the '90s, KYLE FIELD has been crafting non-traditional fusions of warm alt-country and dreamy folk music under the moniker LITTLE WINGS. Inspired by surreal aspects of his life on the American west coast, his songwriting weaves amusing wordplay through tales of unknown legends, deep inner reflections, and fantastic descriptions of seaside cities and landscapes. Through the years, Kyle’s music and art have proven his prestige as a singular patron of coastal Americana. In 2002, Little Wings released an album called Wonderue, the first of several early collaborations with acclaimed independent label K Records. Wonderue reinforced Kyle’s knack for loosely structured, yet deeply resonant compositions. Each recording on the album had a way of welcoming listeners in to reflect and sing along as if in the company of his band. There was a magic Kyle conjured throughout the course of Wonderue—a wide-eyed optimism and ease that he imparts to his listeners to this day. In its totality, Wonderue was an album that effortlessly billowed and spilled over with sounds and imagery that evoked festivity, meditation, and a theme of Wonder. Moone Records has teamed up with Little Wings to bring this beautiful album back into print. Remastered by RICHARD HOUGHTEN, and featuring reshoots of Wonderue’s 2002 photo locations, this edition is sure to appeal to your insatiable analog desires. A classic collection of Little Wings splendor, this album’s magic and charm endures 17 years on.

***BACK IN PRINT ON 'TRANSPARENT TEAL' VINYL!!! “Kyle Field, professionally known as Little Wings, is a living legend. He is the modern embodiment of the traveling bard and the singing troubadour. Kyle’s discography is vast and impressive, full of tunes plucked from the lexicon of great American songwriting. On his latest effort, Explains, he crafts melodies so haunting and familiar, it’s as if he’s not composing them at all. He is tapping into something greater, acting as a vessel for the collective unconscious that is folk music. This is an album that is immediately accessible and also unfolds slowly, revealing greater depth with each listen. Kyle’s lyrics are direct yet poetic, funny yet sad. Explains is a fantastic record that celebrates the enduring spirit of a great artist. Its release on Woodsist is all too fitting—a label whose very foundation seems based on lasting creative integrity.” —Alex Bleeker
