Field Music

field music, brothers peter and david brewis, hail from sunderland in the north-east of england. the band’s music draws on influences as wide-ranging as stravinsky, stax r&b, fleetwood mac, serge gainsbourg, thelonious monk and kate bush. field music’s sound is like all of the pop music you’ve ever heard but with a distinctly british – and north-eastern, tinge. they’ve become known for a deconstructionist approach to songwriting, playfully twisting compositions into new and odd shapes, with a refreshing disregard for convention and cliche.
