Field Music is a band from Sunderland in north-east England led by brothers David and Peter Brewis. Commonly described as making "experimental pop" music, they have released eight 'proper' albums: Field Music (2005), Tones of Town (2007), Field Music (Measure) (2010), Plumb (2012), Commontime (2016), Open Here (2018), Making A New World (2020), and Flat White Moon (2021). A ninth album, Limits of Language, was released on 11 October 2024. They have also released a compilation of B-sides (Write Your Own History, 2006), a collection of cover versions (Field Music Play..., 2012), a film soundtrack (Music For Drifters, 2015), and an EP of songs written and recorded around the same time as Flat White Moon (Another Shot, 2021). Additionally, Binding Time, in which the band collaborated with brass instrumentalists from the NASUWT Riverside Band, was released in limited quantity for Record Store Day 2024. Three of these albums (2015's Music For Drifters, 2020's Making A New World, and 2024's Binding Time) began as commissioned projects, originally intended to be played for specific events before ultimately being released in an album format. Music For Drifters was commissioned by the Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival and acts as a soundtrack to the 1929 silent film Drifters. Making A New World was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum and is a concept album inspired by the end of World War I and its subsequent effects on the world in the following century.
