Field Music
Field Music are an English rock band from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, that formed in 2004. The band's core consists of brothers David Brewis and Peter Brewis. Andrew Moore was the original keyboard player. Their line-up has at times featured members of both Maxïmo Park and The Futureheads. Field Music have been called one of the few bands to outlast the indie guitar band explosion of the mid-2000s. Describing the band as "a truly artful proposition in the pseudo-filled landscape of contemporary Brit art-rock", music blog ''The Fantastic Hope'' puts this down in part to their "un-self-conscious anti-fashion stance", arguing that Field Music's "wayward pop from the fringes of academia is one of the most worthwhile ways in which rock//indie/guitar music/white pop/whatever might evolve". Critics have compared their music to acts as diverse as Steely Dan, XTC, Prefab Sprout, Peter Gabriel, Scritti Politti, Talking Heads and Todd Rundgren. They have also been nominated for ...

Plumb (Field Music Album)
''Plumb'' is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Field Music. It was released by Memphis Industries on 13 February 2012. With 15 tracks over 35 minutes, the album consisted of short tracks that weave and intertwine together like an extended suite. This marked a deliberate departure from Field Music's previous double album ''Field Music (Measure), Measure'' (2010), marking a return to the more fragmentary nature of the band's first two albums, ''Field Music (album), Field Music'' (2005) and ''Tones of Town'' (2007). ''Plumb'' was nominated for the 2012 Mercury Prize, much to the band's surprise. ''Plumb'' has been described as a "melting pot of genres, influences, and styles", incorporating elements from the funk style of Peter Brewis' side project The Week That Was, and the New wave music, new wave and Electronic rock, synth rock of David Brewis' David Brewis, School of Language. The songs on ''Plumb'' featured a wide variety of instrument combinations, from horns an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The tracks "Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped in Plastic", "Running to Get Past Your Heart" and "Greasy Mind" were selected for radio promotion, with a video being produced for the latter. Ian Black describes the writing process for the album as a series of 'what-if' scenarios- "What if we take a stoner metal riff and use it like a dub bass part....that was the idea. Let's add some 4 part harmonies some squelch bass, some hisses and triangle and you've got a peculiar, sinister song." He has cited horror movie soundtracks by Fabio Frizzi, Goblin (band), Goblin, Lalo Schifrin, Andrzej Korzyński and John Carpenter as a major influence on his songwriting. Creation and touring of the album was supported by Peter and David Brewis, the core members of Field Music itself. Track listing #"Grimacing Mask" – 1:21 #"Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped in Plast ...

Commontime (album)
''Commontime'' is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Field Music. It was released by Memphis Industries on 5 February 2016. The album has been described as the band's most accessible to date, and encompasses a wide range of genres and influences, including the funk style that Field Music's David Brewis previously explored on ''Old Fears'', an album by his side project School of Language.

Music For Drifters
''Music for Drifters'' is the official release of the soundtrack to the 1929 documentary '' Drifters'', credited for kickstarting the "documentary" film genre. The soundtrack, commissioned in 2013 by the Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival, was composed by the Sunderland band Field Music. The composition is the first of their works to feature pianist Andrew Moore since 2007's ''Tones of Town''. After touring the film accompanied by the band playing the soundtrack live around the UK, the composition was recorded and released firstly on vinyl for Record Store Day 2015 (limited to 750 copies), and then digitally in July 2015. Reception Though a niche release commercially, the soundtrack was well received by some critics, with several praising the band's ability to evoke "...an oddly aquatic ambience...the percussive delicacy evocative of the lapping tide, the idiosyncratic shifting of pace signalling the unease of the environment".

The first disc primarily contains more traditionally-structured songs, including both of the album's singles ("Them That Do Nothing" and "Let's Write a Book"), whilst the second disc is dominated by more experimental tracks including found-sound pieces ("See You Later" and ...

Sunderland, Tyne And Wear
Sunderland () is a port city in Tyne and Wear, England. It is the City of Sunderland's administrative centre and in the historic county of Durham. The city is from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is on the River Wear's mouth to the North Sea. The river also flows through Durham roughly south-west of Sunderland City Centre. It is the only other city in the county and the second largest settlement in the North East after Newcastle upon Tyne. Locals from the city are sometimes known as Mackems. The term originated as recently as the early 1980s; its use and acceptance by residents, particularly among the older generations, is not universal. At one time, ships built on the Wear were called "Jamies", in contrast with those from the Tyne, which were known as "Geordies", although in the case of "Jamie" it is not known whether this was ever extended to people. There were three original settlements by the River's mouth which are part of the modern-day city: Monkwearmouth, settled in 674 ...
