Field Musicast / Daylight Saving Time

Peter and David Brewis of Field Music talk about the new David Brewis solo-ish album The Soft Struggles, as well as string arranging, spontaneity and the difficulties of organising a night out in your forties.

In case you haven't heard, we (Peter and David Brewis of Field Music) have started our own record label, Daylight Saving Records. To celebrate the start of this new venture, we spoke to Ian Black about the story of SLUG so far, getting dressed up as a nun, character self-assassinations and forthcoming album Thy Socialite!

We'll hope to publish new episodes as and when new releases on the label are announced so stay tuned.
