Fields was an electronic and indie band with Anglo-Icelandic roots, established in London in 2006. Following their early live performances, they secured a deal with Atlantic Records and launched their debut album Everything Last Winter in 2007 through their own label, Black Lab Records. The album was produced by Michael Beinhorn at Sun Studios located in Dublin.
The primary songwriter and lead vocalist was Nick Peill. The band’s members consisted of Peill, vocalist and keyboardist Thórunn Antonía, guitarist Jamie Putnam, drummer Henry Spencer, and bassist Matty Derham, who subsequently became part of Does It Offend You, Yeah?.
Fields supported acts such as Wolfmother and Bloc Party on tour and also headlined their own tour in 2007. They started developing a second album called Hollow Mountain, which was set to include songs like "Sun In Your Eyes" and "Call The Captain", but this project remained unreleased.
The group dissolved in 2009 after losing their recording contract.
