The British are coming! This time around, though, they’re coming via airwave. Hailing from across the pond, Field Music (@fieldmusicmusic) have taken influences from their British Invasion predecessors and gleefully pushed it to experimental fringes in every direction. Plumb, their fourth studio release, is an ambitious exploration that brings together hyper-eclectic instrumentation with a prophetic songwriting style that is warm and wide-eyed.

Sorry for being late with this one!  Measure, from the English band Field Music, has been out for a little under a month, but it’s definitely worth getting to now than never at all.  Front men and brothers Peter and David Brewis hail from from Sunderland, England, and are bursting with musical talent and ideas, which they demonstrate in this double album release. This record seems to continue exactly where their previous album left off, yet possesses a tremendous amount of musical confidence that was not present before. [READ ON]
