Exclusive album preview: Field Music - Field Music (Measure)

It's been a tough few years for Field Music. The Sunderland three-piece lost a member when keyboard player Andrew Moore became a chef following the release of their 2007 album, Tones of Town. The remaining members went on indefinite hiatus, while Peter and David Brewis released solo projects. Three years later, the Brewis brothers are back, alongside Kev Dosdale (guitar and keys) and Ian Black (bass), with the semi-eponymous Field Music (Measure). The album was recorded at 8 Music studio in the band's hometown of Sunderland and what began as a handful of tracks written by the Brewis brothers became a 20-song double album. You can hear Field Music (Measure) for the first time here, while band members will be popping in to respond to comments over the coming week. Free music - Field Music (Measure)
