What Brewis—the first from Field Music’s wing to release new material—came out with from within those vacant classrooms is Sea to Shore, vaguely an extension of Field Music’s lauded Tones of Town that deserves as much, if not more, praise. For an album recorded in solitude, with only a laptop and a roomful of gear, the words speak as loudly as the actions—drums, jazz guitars, keyboards, and looping vocal cutups are intricately woven together over tender harmonies that expose a mishmash of emotions. As abstract as it can be at times, School of Language is sincere pop music—the kind that doesn’t force itself on you and can always be trusted.– TRAVIS RITTER
