Field Music is an eclectic indie rock band hailing from Sunderland, England, formed in the early 2000s by brothers Peter and David Brewis. The band's sound is a distinctive blend of sharply crafted pop with art rock influences, characterized by intricate harmonies, precise instrumentation, and a penchant for conceptually ambitious projects. The core duo, often complemented by a rotating cast of musicians for live performances and studio recordings, has cultivated a niche following with their thoughtful and experimental approach to music-making.

Over the course of their career, Field Music has continued to push boundaries and challenge the conventions of indie rock. Their discography showcases a commitment to innovation, with albums like "Making a New World," a concept album revolving around the after-effects of World War I, and "Open Here," which features lush arrangements with strings and brass, signaling the breadth of their sonic ambitions. The release of "Flat White Moon" added to their rich catalog, further solidifying Field Music's reputation for blending biting commentary with catchy, complex songwriting. Known for their work ethic and creative integrity, Field Music remains a gem in the landscape of British indie music, consistently delivering thought-provoking and melodically rich records like those found in their more recent releases, including the introspective "Songs from the Shelf" and the lilting rhythms of "Sleeping on the Floor."
