It’s hard to say if Field Music was disappointed with their inability to re-create their records in a live setting or if they feel as if their sound had reached its plateau. Whichever the case (though it could also be neither of the two options) David Brewis’ Sea from Shore, his first record as School of Language, is similar to Field Music’s sound in the sense that it’s difficult to believe a live show would really ever do it justice. While the Futureheads’ Barry Hyde and David Craig make guest appearances on Sea, Brewis is touring as a one-man band with his acoustic firmly in tow. That being said, while the thought of one dude and his acoustic guitar may not necessarily grab you, the honesty and craftsmanship in Brewis’ songs could make for one of those nights where you see an artist turn your head completely around.
