Field Day

Field Day, Marshall Crenshaw's 1983 second album, pairs his concise, 1960s-inflected pop songwriting with a more punchy, echo-heavy production from Steve Lillywhite. The record emphasizes bright melodies and chiming guitars while adopting bigger drums and a more expansive sonic palette than his debut, presenting a blend of power pop and rock that highlights Crenshaw's knack for tight songcraft amid 1980s studio gloss.
