Album Review: Field Music – ‘Open Here’

Field Music, “Open Here” (Memphis Industries)- Peter and David Brewis have built up a highly impressive body of work since the release of their debut set, “Field Music,” in 2005, and their latest offering finds the inventive duo scaling new heights of artfully constructed indie pop excellence. The eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2016’s “Commontime” serves up a generous helping of the gloriously eclectic sound which has seen the Brewis brothers’ work variously compared to everyone from XTC to Scritti Politti and Todd Rundgren during the past decade, with “Time In Joy,” “Checking On A Message” and the expansive closer,”Find A Way To Keep Me” emerging as three of the musical highlights – By Kevin Bryan.
