Field Hymns, started in late-2009 by Dylan McConnell, is a Portland-based cassette label that has put together an impressive catalog of mostly experimental and electronic-leaning sounds. McConnell is a talented artist in his own right. His music under the names Adderall Canyonly and Oxykitten and his graphic design work under the banner Tiny Little Hammers have been central to Field Hymns’ overall look and sound. His music and artwork has appeared on several other notable tape imprints over the past few years as well. We recently had a chance to speak with McConnell about Field Hymns, his design work, and his music, and we aired that conversation throughout this show. We also played a bunch of music from various past, present, and future Field Hymns releases, along with some additional Adderall Canyonly tracks to wrap things up.
