Aug 16, 2010An explosion of nostalgic feelings since the first track, wonderful, probably in my top ten of the year. I love when the new bands make new music and even if sounds old, it looks original.

stevebMay 17, 2010The Brewis Brothers are first of all great composers and musicians. Their music is simultaneously highly melodic and rhythmic. Their songs are moving and musical and reveal more and more development upon repeated listening. Their Measure CD is also wonderfully recorded and a treat to listen to on headphones.

FrancescaMar 8, 2010I love them and I reeeeeeallly wanted to love this as much I do previous albums but it just won't happen. Good album and perhaps it's just a personal thing but for me it doesn't come near Tones of Town

AdamLFeb 22, 2010This is an excellent album. Normally a double album would struggle to keep me interested, but this just keeps you gasping for more. Great stuff.

CL.Feb 18, 2010Amazing, amazing, sprawling album that gets better every time you listen to it. To say these guys are talented is a serious understatement... almost like saying Mozart was alright on the piano. Genius is the word. Buy it. Listen to it. Love it.

AdrianF.Feb 18, 2010Like all the best bits of early Yes, Queen, XTC and Beatles. But more then the sum of its parts.

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.
