Friday, February 5 marked the release of UK group Field Music‘s sixth full-length, Commontime. On the energetic new LP brothers Peter and David Brewis recall late ’70s acts such as Steely Dan, with their jazzy, earnest and effulgent tunes that feel like a warm throwback to another era. Highlight of the record has to be “Disappointed,” a punchy, inspiriting song that deals with managing expectations in a relationship and navigating inevitable conflict for an ultimately worthy outcome — something that’s “as close to perfect as we were wishing for,” sings David hopefully. Listen to “Disappointed” below.
Field Music will be a making a short North American tour this spring, kicking off in the District’s DC9 March 24.
