Headphones make the experience even more visceral since listeners can concentrate on the intricacy of the tracks. But in any environment, Flat White Moon is an inventive, original and impressive project from a band who hasn’t yet found a boundary they can’t expand

Uncut
They’ve smuggled in sobering thoughts of isolation, loneliness and optimism’s perpetual challenge. But hope wins through with the sprightly funk and handclaps of closer “You Get Better”. Print edition only

The Line Of Best Fit
If you’re new to Field Music, there are better places to start (those would be 2007’s Tones of Town or 2016’s Commontime), but if you’re curious you could do much worse than beginning with this gem of a record
