New Field Music album
One of Field Music's main strengths for me has always been the coherency with which their albums are constructed, often flowing seamlessly from one track to the next and with a sense of some over arching narrative or theme throughout. So it seems ironically fitting that after their self imposed three year hiatus (to work on both School of Language and The Week That Was) Peter and David Brewis have reunited with a work that seems deliberately fragmented. It seems they've made a concerted effort to keep the listener on their toes, keep their emotional responses fluctuating from song to song and never allowing them to get fully comfortable. Over the course of these twenty tracks they consistently stop and start whilst throwing in subversive tonal shifts at seemingly every available opportunity, something which makes those hooks that will linger in your head for days an even more impressive achievement.
