I was a huge fan of Field Music's 'Tones of Town' album. The band then went away while the two main songwriters went their own way and produced albums that, to me, were OK but generally less good. Now they are back with a new single 'Them That Do Nothing' that is possibly one of the highlights of their new album. An album that on the first couple of listens is a little over indulgent in the prog rock structures and guitar twiddles for my liking. Anyway this is a strong single with the usual Field Music tricks of chiming guitars, twisting melodies and interesting lyrics. Intelligent pop music for a band that were possibly once dubbed a 10cc for the new millennium. The B side is also very worthwhile with the usual falsetto vocals and clattering rhythms.

Field Music’s ‘Them That Do Nothing’ is a three minute pop anthem, a call to arms for the
terminally jaded, and the first track to be taken from their new album ‘Field Music (Measure)’.

‘Them That Do Nothing’ is the first track taken from Field
Music’s hugely anticipated new double album ‘Field Music
(Measure)’, and the single is one of the record’s standout pop
moments.

Field Music are one of the UK’s most critically celebrated
bands, and their return after a three year hiatus is causing huge
excitement amongst fans, press, radio and online.

The 7” also features a cracking exclusive B side,
‘Repetition’, which won’t feature on any other formats.

Field Music hit the road for a UK tour following the single and
album release.

The limited edition 7” includes brilliant new exclusive new
song ‘Repetition’ on the flip.
