Field Music are to take a year’s break from touring to concentrate on recording in their new studio, which are they are near to completing.
The band, whose album Measure topped our Top 20 Albums of 2010 list and is fronted by brothers Peter and David Brewis, have revealed that 2011 will be a quiet year while they focus on recording in the new studio being built in their native Sunderland.
Speaking at the Maximalism charity gig in Brighton, UK, this week, the brothers told Neon Filler that the studio should be ready in the new year and confirmed that they will be taking a break from touring to spend time recording.
In an interview with the Newcastle Chronicle last week Peter had already revealed the band’s plans for 2011. He told the paper: “We’re going to be concentrating on building a recording studio in Sunderland, so I can’t see us doing another gig for at least a year.”
This is the second break the band have taken. They took a break after the release of Tones Of Town to focus on solo projects.
The Maximalism gig as well as an appearance at Belle and Sebastian’s All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival on December 11 were among their last for some time.
