Field Music (a.k.a. Sunderland siblings Peter and David Brewis) release their fourth album, 'Plumb', through Memphis Industries in February 2012 (13 Feb UK/14 Feb US).
The album, recorded over the course of 2011 at their new studio on the banks of the river Wear in Sunderland, comprises 15 songs in a succinct 35 minutes. It largely abandons the classic songwriting conventions embraced on their 2010 double album 'Field Music (Measure)' and instead remodels the modular, fragmented style of the first two Field Music albums; only now shot through with the surreal abstractions of 20th century film music from Bernstein to Willy Wonka and with the off-beam funk and pristine synth-rock developed on the brothers' School of Language and The Week That Was albums.
A highlight of the album, '(I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing', can now be streamed and downloaded from their website at www.field-music.co.uk along with pre-orders for the album and tickets for the following forthcoming live shows:
Nov 26, Middlesbrough, Westgarth Social Club
Nov 30, London, Koko (Memphis Industries 13th Birthday Party)
Feb 18, Glasgow, Stereo Feb 19, Manchester, Deaf Institute
