Poppy Fields [7" Vinyl]

As co-founder of the influential group Thievery Corporation, Eric Hilton has spent decades merging diverse global genres into a singular music vision. His new album, Sound Vagabond, is perhaps the ultimate iteration of this ethos, each track an audio picture postcard of a place real or imagined. "Some memories of the places I've been are very clear; others are distant, nostalgic echos," says Hilton. "This record started modestly, with some basic ideas, but after writing the first 8 tracks I knew I had a travelogue." One of those new tracks, "Poppy Fields," is available on 7" single b/w "French Birds."
