Field Music have today premiered the video for ‘The Noisy Days Are Over’
‘The Noisy Days Are Over’ is the lead single from their new record Commontime, set to be released 5th February 2016 via Memphis Industries.
Written and recorded in spontaneous bursts over six months in their Wearside studio, Commontime is built around the brothers playing and singing together again, but also features a wider array of players, including original Field Music keyboardist Andrew Moore, Peter’s wife Jennie Brewis and new member of the live band Liz Corney on vocals, plus a panoply of other players.
“We wanted to embrace being a duo and, perversely, that made us feel more comfortable about all of those conspicuous cameos” reveals David. Over the fourteen songs of Commontime, real life conversations are replayed, acquaintances come and go, hard won friendships are left to drift and diffuse snap shots of the everyday are pulled together into what must rank amongst Field Music’s best works to date.
Commontime is available to pre-order from the Memphis Industries online store on limited edition 2 x 180gram green vinyl + download code, CD, and download. The first 250 physical orders include an exclusive signed print. The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes now with an instant download of “The Noisy Days Are Over.”
