Field Music - Open Here (LP)

Add to Cart

The two years since Field Music'€™s last album, Commontime€™, have been strange and turbulent. If you thought the world made some kind of sense, you may have questioned yourself a few times in the past two years. It'€™s that questioning, that erosion of faith - in people, in institutions, in shared experience - that runs through every song on Open Here.

The brothers'€™ studio, on the banks of the River Wear, became a sanctuary away from everything political and personal, a cocoon of creativity. Conversely, making the album became an alternative way to connect to people, with a wide array of musicians invited to leave their mark, notably Sarah Hayes on flute and piccolo, Liz Corney on vocals, Pete Fraser on saxophone, Simon Dennis on trumpet and flugelhorn, a Cornshed Sisters choir and the regular string quartet of Ed Cross, Jo Montgomery, Chrissie Slater and Ele Leckie. The result is a record that is bigger in scale and grander than anything Field Music have done before.
