Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Sense Field's Living Outside runs headlong into the heartbreak of young, jilted love with a clean, radio-friendly sound. Vocalist Jon Bunch and keyboardist/guitarist Chris Evenson have displayed a knack for penning catchy songs since 1994's Killed for Less debut. But the limited involvement of guitarist Rodney Sellars and the arrival of producer Brad Wood combined to prompt a move toward synth-pop for the band. Bunch’s sincere, somewhat fragile voice gets rock-star polish that's shown off in "Burn" and 'I Refuse." Less successful are "On Your Own," which comes dangerously close to Collective Soul-style alterna-product. Still, as their cover of the Cure’s "A Letter to Elise" implies, the record is infused with--and saved by--a retro kind of melancholy that's manifested most plainly in Evenson’s early Depeche Mode-like keyboard phrases. --Matthew Cooke

I've only known about Sense Field for a year now, but have to say they are one of my favorite bands. Their new CD is a must buy - their music is steadily improving over the years and I absolutely love I Refuse and Burn. There is also a hidden track on this CD that is fantastic - you will not be disappointed. Please give this one a chance - you will agree they are an awesome band!

I have been into the indie scene for quite sometime now and rarely does a band come along with such talent and enthusiasm. I first heard about Sense Field in 1994 when their "Killed for Less" CD came out. I have been a fan ever since. Well they just keep getting better. With each CD they progress as individuals and most importantly as a band. Plus unlike many other band they put on a awesome live show, which is very hard to do. All in all if you want to try something new, something a indie I would definitely recommend their new album "Living Outside".

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Pop Rock, August 1, 2003

I like Sense Field and their pop rock style. I find this CD much like Tonight and Forever with a slightly harder edge. I do not know what the Amazon.com reviewer is talking about, because the keyboards aren't much different than tonight and forever. There's some really great songs here including "Burn", "I Refuse", and "Take What You Want". The Cure cover is respectable as well. The one weak point is "On Your Own" which is dreadfully underachieving for this group.
