Measure can be described as being the metamorphosis that translates Field Music’s born again status. Ambitious as it sounds, it locks itself into a pop compendium, which has always been a strong suit in the past.

Paul McCartney's influence looms large on the more melodic moments. Several tracks set up an unlikely meeting between angular Sunderland peers Futureheads and mid-70s Wings, and the beautifully orchestrated Measure could be a lost outtake from Abbey Road.

Field Music can certainly use each song’s inherent tension to keep each song coherent, but over two album’s worth of music, that tension is diluted, and the songs tend to run into each other.
