,: february 2018 sees the return of field music with their sixth :,
: album, open here. :
:' ':
,: the two years since commontime have been strange and turbulent. :,
: if you thought the world made some kind of sense, you may have :
:' questioned yourself a few times in the past two years. and that ':
,: questioning, that erosion of faith - in people, in institutions, :,
: in shared experience - runs through every song on the new field :
:' music album. ':
,: :,
: but there's no gloom here. for peter and david brewis, playing :
:' together in their small riverside studio has been a joyful ':
,: exorcism. open here is the last in a run of five albums made at :,
: the studio, an unprepossessing unit on a light industrial estate :
:' in sunderland. whilst the brothers weren't quite tracking while ':
,: the wrecking balls came, the eviction notice received in early :,
: 2017 gave the brothers a sense of urgency in the recording of :
:' open here. ':
,: :,
: the studio became a sanctuary away from everything political and :
:' personal, a cocoon of creativity. and conversely, making the ':
,: album became an alternative way to connect to people, with a :,
: wide array of musicians invited to leave their mark, notably :
:' sarah hayes on flute and piccolo, liz corney on vocals, pete ':
,: fraser on saxophone, simon dennis on trumpet and flugelhorn, a :,
: cornshed sisters choir and the regular string quartet of ed :
:' cross, jo montgomery, chrissie slater and ele leckie. the ':
,: result is a record that is bigger in scale, grander than :,
: anything they've done before. david explains, ôwhere commontime :
:' felt like a distillation of all of the elements that make up ':
,: field music, this feels like an expansion; as if weÆre pushing :,
: in every direction at once to see how far we can goö. :
:' ':
,: album opener, time in joy, turns dark times into sparkling funk, :,
: and might even have earned another acknowledgement from a :
:' sadly-departed purple superstar in happier circumstances. count ':
,: it up's wry critique of privilege bounces along like an :,
: upside-down material girl. checking on a message could be on the :
:' apocalyptic party playlist the morning after any number of ':
,: recent voting catastrophes. peter says the song "is about being :,
: too confident that world events will go the way you expect them :
:' to. and then getting bad news from a mobile phone". ':
,: :,
: wrestling with politics has gone hand in hand with wrestling :
:' with parenthood. if we can't make sense of the world for ':
,: ourselves, how do we do it for our kids? share a pillow is the :,
: eye-rolling, eye-rubbing product of one too many nights playing :
:' musical beds, turning the pitter-patter of tiny feet into a ':
,: bludgeoning baritone stomp. no king no princess is a barbed :,
: two-fingered salute to gender stereotypes. david again: ômy :
:' little boy was born not long before we started making ':
,: commontime and my baby girl was born just before we started :,
: making open here. people tend to ascribe every perceived :
:' difference between them to their gender. the æprincessÆ thing ':
,: is so weird to me - itÆs such a passive aspiration. i wanted to :,
: write a song for my kids which says you can throw all of those :
:' expectations out of the window if you want to.ö ':
,: :,
: on a few tracks, the melancholy finds a way to seep through. :
:' front of house says a too-late goodbye to a good friend gone ':
,: far too soon. daylight saving wistfully laments having the time :,
: to be a couple when you're preoccupied with being parents. and :
:' then on the final song, find a way to keep me, an imploring ':
,: whisper builds to a wild, hurtling clangour, with flute and :,
: trumpet and strings diving and trilling around each other. it's :
:' the grandest music the brothers have ever made. ':
,: :,
: there probably won't be many other rock records this year, or :
:' any year, which feature quite so much flute and flugelhorn ':
,: (alongside the saxophones, string quartet and junk box :,
: percussion). but somehow or other, it comes together. over :
:' thirteen years and six albums, field music have managed to ':
,: carve a niche where all of these sounds can find a place; a :,
: place where pop music can be as voracious as it wants to be. :
:' ':
