Product Description
CD Description
Following a self-imposed three year hiatus Sunderland's Field Music return with a new 20 track double album. Powered, as ever, by brothers and co-front men Peter and David Brewis Field Music (Measure) is a gloriously rich LP that entwines the brother's renewed love of the rock music cannon with a rediscovery of some of pop's overlooked adventurers.
From the dissonant funk of 'Let's Write A Book' (a call to arms for the perpetually apologetic), the mutated blues of 'Each Time Is A New Time' (a riposte to misplaced faith in repetition), the chopping and splashing pop of 'Them That Do Nothing' (perhaps about a valiant willingness to make mistakes), the multilayered riffery of 'The Rest Is Noise' or the epic found-sound song cycle that starts with 'See You Later' Field Music (Measure) is the sound of one of the UK's finest bands in supreme and confident control.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is just superb!,
By Bill Davies (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Field Music (Measure) [VINYL] (Vinyl)
The difficult third album, this is Field Music's masterpiece. I was slow picking up on them, but after hearing so much through Marc Riley on BBC 6 Music, I was really worked up about this new album.The influences are wide and varied, with something of a Todd Rundgren feel to procedings. There are elements of Queen (good Queen, not the Brian May noodly stuff) in songs like the epic 'The Rest is Noise'. Other tracks like 'Them That Do Nothing' have an XTC feel to them, but these comparisons really don't do justice to an album which stands up so well in it's own right. Put aside your prejudices and pretend you never heard the word 'progressive', this album has the musicianship without the pretension, and some damned fine songs.
