Here’s one for the heads: David and Peter Brewis’s latest endeavour is a 20-track cinematic score for Drifters, a seminal film documenting the UK’s herring fishing industry in 1929. It evokes the ferocious waters that smashed against the north-eastern coastline and brought in the bounty, with the brothers conveying the clash of tradition and modernity by dextrously applying their gawky time signatures and inquisitive melodies. In other hands, such a concept might be muddied by pretension, but there’s always been a lightness and humour to Field Music’s compositions, and an oddly aquatic ambience, too – the percussive delicacy evocative of the lapping tide, the idiosyncratic shifting of pace signalling the unease of the environment. It stands on its own, too: as with all of their creations, the gentle dusting of a hi-hat and the nervous wobble of a xylophone undulate and entwine as if the instruments are in conversation.
