BLITHE FIELD- Hard Core Soft Wear ORD-98

Release date: October 23, 2026

Eighteen unknown zones visited. Corrupted flash game files reconstructed. Cartoon floppy disk factory on the night shift. Point and click memories. Soft Core Hard Wear ☻

Lost in the loading screen. Perplexed at the plaza. Cat in the Christmas tree with the singing lights shorted. Soft Core Hard Wear ☻

Trick candles melting onto the birthday cake. Movie theater patterned carpets being vacuumed after hours. Plumbing beneath the water park being repaired in the off-season. Soft Core Hard Wear ☻

Soft Core Hard Wear is the new album from Spencer Radcliffe’s Blithe Field. A suite of eighteen moments made from synthesizer, sampler, and cassette tape. Accompanying the album is a full-length movie of the same name, comprised of warped and meted together found VHS tapes, color, and general video experiments. Available on limited cassette tape 10/23 through the venerable Orindal Records.

Have a nice day ☻
