Field Music
Measure

A Norman Records recommendation (12th February 2010)

This record left our Business Lady feeling ecstatic.

What can I say about ‘Measure’? It’s all over the shop, a sprawling mass of fractured grooves and foolhardy reinterpretations of music that, under general circumstances, should be left well alone. It's not unfair to call Field Music the 10CC of our time but that would be forgetting the influence of The Beatles, Roxy Music, Queen, Sparks, Led Zep, Supertramp, Prince, Bowie and many, many more. ‘Measure’ is a celebration of the recording studio and the creative possibilities it presents to folk with an abundance of ideas and musical skill. Much like Jim O’ Rourke’s ‘Insignificance’ on ‘Measure’ the group are confident and playful in their approach, casually reshaping classics in their own image. Nothing here you could call entirely new but what they do with the source material is a thing of wonder.
