2010 Preview: the return of Field Music
Sunderland's much-loved art poppers Field Music are officially back from their nearly-three-year hiatus. The brothers Brewis are currently appearing in a venue near you and have a new double album - Field Music (Measure) - slated for release early next year on Memphis Industries. We phoned David from the band and he told us why he feels the time is right to come back, why he is sick of being labelled post-punk and why he is prone to ripping off Peter Gabriel. »

A Month In Records: January 2007
January was cold. But for a few days it wasn’t, and we all feared London would flood when the rising sea level overpowered the wonder of modern technology that is the Thames Barrier. Then it got colder, still, and we remembered that The Netherlands will drown way before us. But all this talk of evolving into a race of webbed-limbed freaks is totally off the subject at hand, which is January’s finest long-play releases...»
A Month in Records: April 2006
