For those that don’t know, Sunderland-based Field Music released two full albums, the eponymous 2005 debut and 2007’s Tones of Town, both of which became one of many peoples’ albums of the year. Perhaps willfully to some, Field Music, on the cusp of breaking through, decided, “to get off the band treadmill” concerned that being in a band in the traditional sense was restricting their creative output. The first fruits of this artistic freedom was David Brewis’ much lauded School of Language album Sea From Shore in Feb 08…the second is The Week That Was, Peter’s first solo foray.
The Week That Was, written and recorded in late 2007 at Field Music’s 8 Studio in Sunderland, emerged from an imagined crime thriller dreamt up by Peter and inspired by Paul Auster’s labyrinthine storytelling. Peter started writing the songs as if they were moments, instances of perspectives within this story. The story was left to fall away, leaving a puzzle of musical snapshots. The songs are the evidence in this particular mystery and the victims, perpetrators and onlookers raise questions with concerns familiar to us all.
