Field Music

Field Music's crisp, complex debut full-length release, one of those albums that becomes more satisfying with each listen.

“ Field Music glide through brief swathes of British pop grandeur like a pebble skipping over a calm, lambent lake, incorporating wobble-close harmonies, icicle keyboards, strings and jerky guitar beneath lyrics that sigh at human uncertainty, misdirected relationships, and the brevity of existence…” 7.8 Pitchfork Media
"Perfect crystalline pop - this is a melodic gem" Time Out
"The sleeper hit of the year" 8/10 NME
"Lustrous romance and loquacious imagination, an intriguing debut" **** Mojo
"Like Wire arranged by the Beach Boys. Lovely" **** Uncut
"They've perfected the pop gem" **** The Times
"The most charming act to emerge this year" The Observer
”Field Music's debut is fully formed -- a crystallized moment of pure pop that acknowledges its influences while building upon them”. Splendidzine
“With their clever vocal harmonies and angular riffs, these guys are sure to get plenty of Futureheads references, and rightly so to some degree, but Field Music have taken it a step farther. Just when you think they’re gonna go for the pay-off, or even the logical conclusion, they’ll duck left and make the song work in a whole new way. Unpredictability, in the good sense, is the only consistent factor, and they’ve mastered it” 81% Cokemachineglow.
“If smarty pants-brilliant Talking Heads had grown up in a worn-out shipbuilding town like Sunderland, they might have been Field Music. With a dash of Beach Boys” LA Times Pick for 2006
