THIS 20-track album from Sunderland’s Field Music is exactly what you’d expect from the duo of Peter and David Brewis.

While the songs are indie-rock with strong pop melodies, the album has not been made with mainstream success in mind. Instead, it’s akin to two polite and neatly dressed librarians releasing a record. That’s not to say it’s dull or lacking in excitement. In fact several tunes have all the appeal of classic Fleetwood Mac singles. The two simply don’t pretend to be rough, ready or rock ‘n’ roll – they seem happy to have opportunity to show off their clever instrumentation. Given the number of tunes, this album is best listened to in instalments.
