about

A three-piece band since 2017 and helmed by vocalist/guitarist Holly
Bestic, Field of Wolves’ Yellow Star is the third single to be released by this Sydney-based, soul-tinged indie outfit.
The intimate, vulnerable whisper of Bestic’s vocals open Yellow Star’s late-night informed narrative, its powerful lyrics reflecting an honesty experienced when all is quiet, dark and still. Accompanied by the visceral tinkering of the intensely moving, open-road lead and slide guitar of guitarist and songwriter Dominic Breen, the track builds to an apogee where inhibition is relinquished and the penny drops; the narrative is strong, the detail personal. Supported by the solid rhythm section of Arne Utiger (Bin Juice) on bass and ‘Skinny’ Dave Noble (Mazda Three) on drums with ethereal production from Stefan Du Randt (Studios 301), Yellow Star demonstrates a pack-like unity from its key players.

lyrics

Yellow star in an orange sky
Impressionable am I
Waking in the middle of the night
Holding your body close to mine
See through my eyes
Breathe through your skin
Hand in hand we can begin
We felt this once
The cool mud between our toes
On the riverbank when the tide was low
I could not ignore
The weight of his heavy heart
The black crow, he’s torn apart
Hear me speak
The tales of the patchworker
Her craft that can’t go further
Yellow star in an orange sky
Impressionable am I
Waking in the middle of the night
Holding your body close to mine
