FIELD MUSIC are a three-piece band from Sunderland consisting of the brothers David and Peter Brewis and Andrew Moore, who released two critically acclaimed albums (in 2005 and 2007) and then decided to take time out to concentrate on their solo projects. Earlier this year David, with SCHOOL OF LANGUAGE, released the album "Sea From Shore", while his brother Peter, as THE WEEK THAT WAS, has just released an album that has a cinematic quality not immediately obvious in Field Music's previous recordings, and should appeal to fans of Roxy Music, Japan and Kate Bush. The record features contributions from Peter's Field Music colleagues, Andrew Moore and David Brewis, along with Pete Gofton on vibraphone, singing by Jennie Redmond, John Beattie on cornet and Laura Cullen on flute, as well as percussive and vocal duties from This Ain't Vegas' Jordan Hill and Richard Amundsen. The strings were played by Emma Fisk and Peter Richardson (veterans of previous Field Music albums) and Pauline Brandon. The success of the album, however, pivots around Peter's deftness and ingenuity as producer, engineer, writer, instrumentalist and singer - it's hard to think of even a handful of artists who would attempt to harness such a sprawl of ideas, let alone who could pull off such a project so astutely. The album was released through the indie label Memphis Industries (and probably through PIAS in the Benelux region) on 18th August 2008.

Ik ben dit album begin deze maand beginnen te luisteren en ben het nog steeds niet moe. Het heeft wel iets van XTC af en toe.
