Brett Johnson, live bass player for the hip-hop group Atmosphere, who is also a guitar player/singer/songwriter, wrote his first solo rock album entitled, Letters Post Mortem, under the moniker, Kingfield.

Citing such influences as Shiner, Fugazi, Shudder To Think, and Foo Fighters, Kingfield has created a stylistically diverse record that all falls within the genre of rock, but no two songs sound alike.

Letters Post Mortem began as a series of demos that Brett was writing, and self-recording, between Atmosphere tours. The songs were inspired by his battle with cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which ended with him as the victor. He has been in remission since June 2002.

Brett passed out the demo recordings to a few of his musician friends, hoping they would learn their parts and practice them to perfection. They did as much, and as a result, Letters Post Mortem was recorded at Vaudeville MPLS Studios upon Brett returning from his Fall 2005 Tour with Atmosphere.

KINGFIELD is:

Brett Johnson (Vocals/Guitar)
Mark Messina (Drums)
Jeff Halland (Guitar/Vocals)
Shane Baskerville (Bass/Vocals)

The street date for this CD is set for Tuesday December 5th, 2006.

Kingfield will tour the US & Canada in support of Letters Post Mortem throughout 2007.
