    From a band capable of biting social commentaries and intense concept albums about the First World War, this latest, fluffier episode in the Field Music saga is a solid record that does everything you’d ever hope a Field Music album would do.

    Full of smart nods to their pop inspirations, Field Music's Flat White Moon is a poetic and beautifully realized production.

    Throughout, there’s a feeling of being in safe hands, in sync with the Brewises rather than merely being impressed by them.

    These 12 songs deal with death and loss – themes that have never felt so tangible for so many. Yet, Field Music pull off this balancing act for one simple reason: this was their very gift to begin with.

    While at times Flat White Moon struggles to match the awe-striking levels of the album’s opening track, there’s still plenty to enjoy.

    Every entertaining diversion the band tries their hand at is balanced out by a nondescript jingle-jangler.

    Although Flat White Moon is a serene glance into the past it unfortunately lacks the innovation that makes what inspired it so great, and would be much improved if we could hear Field Music’s individual voice alongside their musical heroes.
