Field Music - Plumb (Memphis Industries)

2:13pm Friday 10th February 2012 in Album reviews By Daniel Orr, Reporter

PREPARE to transport yourself back to the mid-1970s with Field Music on their fourth album Plumb.

Heavily-orchestrated opener Start The Day Right is about as close as you can get to Wings, and it sets the tone for a record which seems to bow in awe to the production style of Tony Visconti.

Meanwhile, the echoed vocals, pianos and horns on Sorry Again, Mate sound like Supertramp in their pomp.

It wasn’t for me, but it might be for you.
