There must be something musical in the tea on Wearside particularly, in the Field Music camp. After numerous records and eps from the Brewis brothers we are now in the cycle of a solo effort being due from David Brewis and what comes forth is a new record out today from School of Language called ' Old Fears'.
Following a blinding marketing job online from Memphis Industries, this album has been highly anticipated for a few months and the wait has been well worth it! As with Field Music, these guys also seem to possess an inability to make a bad record, lucky for us then!
'Old Fears' on it's pink vinyl almost jumps our of the sleeve onto the turntable as there are so many vibes waiting to burst into your ears; electronic indie funk 2014 style, with the ever present Steely Dan undertones have your feet tapping in no time.
David's falsetto vocals hit just the right note and tone on the ten songs on the record, which honestly seems to fly by so, you end up just playing the whole thing again, when the record finishes.
The band are on the road in the U.K. Over the next couple of weeks, so do catch them if you can!
