New Field Music - "Measure"

thubmnail icon: New Field Music - "Measure"

When Field Music gave us a Progress Report a few weeks into recording their third album, David Brewis noted:

I've been rediscovering my teenage love of the Black Crowes' third album. There's going to be something to offend everything on this record. That's the plan.

Who knows if they succeeded in said plan, but the brothers Brewis have returned from their post-Tones Of Town hiatus with a fury, offering up the 20-track double album Measure. Beyond the black Crowes, they also told Jessica their time apart in School Of Language (David) and The Week That Was (Peter) had honed their songwriting and playing skills. Take a listen to the lilting string-lined title track to see if you agree with any of the above.

This is exciting! Great track, and I have been waiting a while for some new stuff since their great last album. A double album by Field Music is still not enough Field Music. I can't wait until February.
