You can practically hear the K collective urging Field to leave it on the album, half-lark and misplaced signifier. All ramshackle frolic and are-we-rolling spontaneity, the song breaks apart the restful ease of the songs placed around it. Limber with Field's sandman lessons to his nieces and nephews, its overwrought cuteness has the effect of studio downtime committed to tape.
"Sing Wide", for example, lopes along a static-laced bassline and stark acoustic guitar part before the sound of shaky, lunatic-fringe background voices overrides its jailed boom and distracts from the track's aspiring message.Įlsewhere, "Uncle Kyle Says" fails in its attempt at bemused charm and winds up corny and unhinged. At their heart, these youthful folk songs are spare and gentle, but frequently, multiple instruments are stacked atop them, and their clamor cuts into the songs' simplistic intentions.
And while Kyle Field fares better than most on his sixth album as Little Wings, the K aesthetic still detracts. King Charles will duly appoint a lord chamberlain of his own, who will receive a new wand of office.Though certain K artists have been able to combine each member's contributions into a cohesive, visionary whole (The Microphones, Yume Bitsu), most have been unable to straddle the line between preserving tight-knit relationships with fellow "family" members and creating a piece of work that stands alone. Named Baron Parker of Minsmere when he took up his position in the House of Lords, Parker was the eighth and final lord chamberlain appointed by Queen Elizabeth II.Īlso known as the “breaking of the stick”, the action marks the end of the lord chamberlain’s service to the monarch. Despite the seniority, and responsibility, it is a part-time role. He was formerly the head of the UK’s domestic counter-intelligence service, MI5. He was responsible for organising ceremonial activities such as weddings, funerals and state visits.
The lord chamberlain is the most senior position in the royal household, and Parker has held the role since 1 April 2021. The last act of the service at the Queen’s committal involved the wand being broken, and then placed on the coffin before it was lowered into the royal vault. This thin white staff has its origins in a tool that was used by the lord chamberlain to admonish people in the monarch’s court by tapping them if they were too rowdy or disrespectful.
