Elysian Fields Re-Release – Definition

Utah pop-rock band Elysian Fields is introducing a new generation of listeners to their classic 1995 album, Definition, with its long-awaited re-release on major streaming platforms. Originally released in 1995, the record earned praise for its heartfelt songwriting, memorable melodies and polished production, quickly becoming a standout within Utah’s thriving music scene.

Featuring the powerful vocals of Kerri Murray alongside the songwriting partnership of James Shumway and Mark Roos, Definition remains a timeless collection of songs that explores love, hope, dreams and human connection. We were thrilled to discover this classic release and couldn’t wait to dive into it.

An Energetic Opening

When the Days Get Hot opens with energetic instrumentation that immediately draws the listener in. We adore the passionate vocal performance, while the bright guitar work and rich arrangements create an uplifting atmosphere.

Standout Moments

My Fantasy is another highlight, driven by intelligent chord progressions, memorable hooks and a confident performance throughout. Moreover, Shattered Lives impresses with its punchy instrumentation and emotionally charged storytelling, allowing the lyrics to take centre stage.

A Strong Finish

In addition, Desert Sky captivates with its rhythmic momentum, melodic guitar work and infectious chorus that lingers long after the song has finished. Finally, Wings to Fly closes the album on a reflective note, rounding off the release with soaring melodies and a satisfying sense of resolution. One thing is for sure: Definition has truly stood the test of time.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Definition is a compelling album that proves great songwriting never goes out of style. Elysian Fields combine engaging musicianship, expressive performances and thoughtful lyricism to create a record that still feels fresh decades after its original release.

Whether you’re revisiting the album or discovering it for the very first time, this re-release offers the perfect opportunity to experience an overlooked gem from Utah’s music scene. We highly recommend adding Definition to your playlist.
