Diving into the Sea From Shore
David Brewis' latest project School of Language, not to be confused with his old project Field Music (which is not to be confused with The Field {which has never been confused with Spitalfield}), has signed to Thrill Jockey for North American release of it's debut effort Sea From Shore. Fans of Field Music will not be disappointed - the album is a friendly mix of all the same ingredients, but replacing half a cup less of Pornographer sugar with a wistful whallop in the veins of Andrew Bird or Of Montreal. The four "Rockist" tracks sandwich the album in a ambitious melody of vowel pronunciations, guitar sustain, and a little love ballad for good measure. Standout "This Is No Fun" is a seafaring dirge whose form only occasionally contains the exuberant rock underneath. The album will be available from Thrill Jockey in February.
